KITCHEN CLUB

The idea of Kitchen Club is cooking together and speaking Finnish in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a fun activity, that includes light Finnish speaking, short talk about food and nutrition, home gardening and environmental protection, household economics and consumer issues. In the end of the event cooked food is eaten together. In Kitchen Club we get to know Finnish dishes and food culture as well as cuisines all the round the world.
Fall 2022 Kitchen Club happens on four Fridays from 10.00-14.00: 30.9., 28.10., 25.11. and 16.12. Kitchen Club takes place in Ruoholahti/Jätkäsaari, at Swedish Martha’s premises. Because there are limited places in this activity, pre-registration is mandatory. |

Familia kid's yoga with lilla
|
Welcome to Familia’s kid’s yoga with Lilla! This Spring we are inviting intercultural kids in the Helsinki region to delve into the world of story-based yoga that will help build their mental and physical strength. Each session will be centered around an interesting character and an important lesson for life, like the value of honesty or focused attention. The yoga club is meant for children between the ages of 3-9 and the lessons will be tailored especially for the age of the kids. During the club parents are invited to join the Duo Living Room happening simultaneously, where they can chat with other intercultural parents over coffee. The lessons will be facilitated by Familia’s volunteer and certified kid’s yoga teacher Lilla Murányi. Check out our Facebook event too! |
BELINGUAL LANGUAGE CLUBS

Belingual language clubs are volunteer-led clubs where families with under school-aged children, who speak the same language as one of your home languages come together to play, sing, craft and have fun. The clubs support children's language and identity development and give families an opportunity to experience their language and culture in a community. The clubs meet every two week for two hours.
We currently have clubs in English, Spanish, Russian, Oshindonga, German, Italian, Farsi and Igbo in Helsinki and Espoo, as well as clubs starting in Swahili, Yoruba and Greek soon. Click here for the club schedule and registration. |
