KLO 10:00 - 17:00 Keskustakirjasto Oodi

See program Warda Ahmed, one of the experts in our project DRIN, is reading in Somali at 2 and 3 PM.

This event is a polyphonic encounter of families to celebrate our plurilingual city around children’s literature. Many Reading Nests full of stories, books and languages are waiting for you. You will have the opportunity to participate in storytelling sessions in Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Somali, Ukrainian, and simplified Finnish.  You will also have the chance to use your creativity in our Susurrador workshop.  
​
Do you know what is a “Susurrador”? Discover this special way of sharing stories and poems! Come with your family to decorate your own Susurrador from recycled materials and be active in telling your own stories, and listening to others' stories in many heritage languages, also in simplified Finnish language.  
​
Storytellers are taking care of the Reading Nest according to heritage languages. Please, search your heritage languages and your children's ages in the programme and find your Reading Nest.
