At the Swap Party, you can exchange clothes, shoes, accessories, books, and home decor items with other participants for free. This is an eco-friendly and fun way to update your wardrobe while recycling and reducing textile waste. Participating is easy: bring clean, ironed, and good-condition items to swap with others. The items should be suitable for the summer season, and you can bring up to four items to exchange. All items will be checked before being put on display.
Participants of the Summer Talkoot camp come from all over Europe and will prepare snacks from their home countries for event attendees to taste.
Come build insect hotels with us. Materials will be provided on-site, and we will guide you through the process. You can take the finished insect hotel home or leave it at Hyvärilä, where we will find a suitable place for it.
