HELLO HELSINKI

Hub Helsinki, Aleksi 16-18, Helsinki Show map

16:00 – 20:00 // free – bring your own snacks and drinks to share

After a year comprised of a snowy freezing winter, a super hot summer, freak rain showers and thunder storms it is easy to believe scientist when they say the climate is behaving badly. The global 10:10 campaign urges us to take action now and commit to start making changes in our own personal lives (that’s right) to cut 10 % carbon every year from now on.

The 10:10 campaign involves hundreds of thousands of people from over 128 countries and is constantly growing. To introduce the campaign concept and bring it to life in Finland, Hub Helsinki invites you to take part in a brainstorm meeting to find novel, funny, small and attractive ideas to support the campaign.

The 10:10 campaign in Finland is supported by Natural Interest, British Council, The Environment Centre of City of Helsinki, the Nordic Council of Ministers and Hub Helsinki. 10:10 is open to everybody: companies, communities, schools, individuals from young children to elderly can join the movement.

Workshop languages: English/Finnish.

More info about 10:10 at www.1010global.org.

The 10:10 campaign was founded by Franny Armstrong, director of the climate change blockbuster The Age of Stupid, which will be screened after the workshop. The Age of Stupid is a docudrama on climate change. It’s funny, it’s thought provoking and it’s shown all over the world.

@ Studio Galleria Volga, Museokatu 34, Helsinki
19:00-21:00 // free

The Found Film event was born when a filmmaker, who had been collecting old 8 mm films from flea markets, decided to share some of the hidden treasures he had discovered with an audience. After a successful first screening in a packed Myymälä2, the Found Films will return once more this Saturday.

Come by Studio Galleria Volga and enjoy the bizarre, beautiful and definitely surprising films, accompanied by a soundtrack of old 7″ singles.

This time most of the films are other people’s findings and everyone is welcome to bring their own little jewels to be screened.

(Hot tip: If you want a seat, be on time.)
