HDW Children’s Weekend fills Suvilahti with activities and workshops from 10 to 11 September. In the final part of HDW Makers video series we meet the makers who teach kids courage and diversity.

During Helsinki Design Week’s Children’s Weekend, in the former boiler hall (Kattilahalli) in Suvilahti, children can peek into Jenni Erkintalo and Reka Kiraly’s book ‘House Behind the Corner’ that creates a framework of spatial design. There are plenty of workshops and chores in sight for little designers.

In the final part of HDW Makers video series we meet the illustrator-graphic-designer-author duo of Etana Editions and the event’s producer Reetta Turtiainen from Helsinki Design Week.

They tell how they teach kids the art of courage and diversity and what kind of workshops will be part of the weekend.

Activities and workshops for young designers!

Eppu moves into a new house. What are new neighbours and their wonderful worlds like? What on earth does a designer do?

During Helsinki Design Week’s Children’s Weekend, in the former boiler hall (Kattilahalli) in Suvilahti, children can peek into Jenni Erkintalo and Reka Kiraly’s book ‘House Behind the Corner’ that creates a framework of spatial architecture. There are plenty of workshops and chores in sight for little designers.  Find bargains at the Little Market sales event throughout the weekend.

Come and see what kind of a garden have Kielo and Kuutti von Luomu created and what kind of a huge weave Granny Edna Virta-Berg as knitted.
