Events for young people
Living Library at Kuovi on Friday 13 November
A pop-up version of the Living Library will take place at Kuovi on Friday 13 November from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm. You can learn something new and challenge your own preconceptions by ‘borrowing’ a living book – that is, a real person – for a 20-minute conversation. The living books come from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
For further information, please contact youth worker Susanna Hiljanen on 044 793 4563.

Rainbow Evenings are held once a month from 4 pm to 7 pm at the Kuovi Youth Centre. The autumn sessions are on Wednesday 11 November and Wednesday 9 December.
The events are open to all young people under the age of 29 who belong to gender and sexual minorities, those exploring their identity, and their friends.

Mopotalli will continue its operations in spring 2027
The Moped Workshop is intended for young people interested in mopeds, whether for maintaining or repairing their own mopeds or simply out of a general interest in them. During the sessions, the young people are assisted by an instructor with knowledge of mopeds and mechanics, as well as a youth worker.
The moped workshop is equipped with a wide range of tools. Each moped rider is responsible for sourcing their own spare parts for repairs. An important aim of the moped workshop is to promote safe road behaviour and to provide a warm space for young people to gather whilst enjoying their mopeds. When visiting the moped workshop, young people undertake to follow the workshop’s rules. The moped workshop is one of the city’s youth centres, where we adhere to the principles of a safer space.

Viklo is open from Monday to Wednesday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Kuovi is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
