Talkoot

Talkoot is a Finnish word that means "community work party". Imagine you are having a big party with all your friends and family. Now, imagine this party is all about doing some work together.

Maybe you all get together to clean up a park or plant trees. Maybe you're picking up litter together or painting a building. Whatever it is, everyone works together to get it done.

Talkoot is like that. It's when a whole community comes together to work on a project. Sometimes it's for fun, sometimes it's to help out someone in need, and sometimes it's just to make the community a better place.

It's kind of like everyone pitching in to clean up the toys after playtime, except on a much bigger scale. Instead of just a few friends, it's the whole community working together to make a difference.
