Come and explore four activities at the university's Lähde building: listen to Tove Jansson's literature in Japanese and Swedish, learn about knitting, learn Japanese and Finnish at the language café, and participate in Japanese exercise sessions. By collecting stamps from all the stations, you can enter a draw to win a Japanese-themed prize.

2nd floor: Väite (B 248)

In Väite we knit in a hybrid implementation with knitters from Tokyo from 12pm to 2pm and from 2pm to 3:30pm. Bring your own knitting!

In addition to knitting, there will be a literary theme from 13-14 and 15-15:30: come and listen to Moominpappa at Sea in the original Swedish language and also Japanese.

The reading will be held alongside the knitting and you can join in at any time!
