Naphouse

The aim of the Youth Initiative called "Naphouse" is to promote the health aspects of a peaceful lifestyle. The main idea is to fight the urban stress by using the benefits of siesta.
Creative group of young people in Finland opened a Naphouse, a place where people can have a break, a siesta or just relax, free of charge. It is also a place for local alternative culture events and activities. The project promotes Fair trade, sustainable development and alternative way of living. The visitor of the Naphouse could receive fair trade products like coffee and tea, read a book in a small library or receive information on the European programmes. The project is also a cultural exchange between the youth involved in the project, by mixing two different cultures, French and Finnish together.
