The next evenings at Kuovi’s Youth Centre in February 12 and 26 February, both from 16-18.

Girls take over Kuovi on Thursday 6.3.

The Girls Take Over Kuovi event will take place on Thursday 6 March from 15.30 to 19.30 at Kuovin Youth Centre, Kuovinkuja 4. The event offers fun activities and safe socialising for all girls and young women aged 11-25, with a gender diversity perspective. There will be workshops on courage and self-esteem, Baltic Sea-themed activities, a recycling corner by Valo-Valmennus, hairstyling and glitter, a pop-up library, exercise and games. A snack will also be provided for all participants!

The event is completely free of charge and no registration is required. The event is organised by volunteers in cooperation with Rauma Youth Services. The event will also involve other Rauma-based organisations such as the Rauma Main Library, Valo-Valmennus, Rauma Avainmartat, Winnova beauty students, Rauma Rotary Club and Rauma Zontat.

The Living Library on Tuesday 18.3.

The Living Library will be held on Tuesday 18 March at 15.30-17.30 at the Rauma Main Library. At the Living Library you can borrow a living book, a real person, for a 20-minute conversation in which the book tells its own story. The living books come from different cultural backgrounds, so you have the chance to challenge your own prejudices, learn more about other cultures and have great encounters with different people.

The event is free of charge and open to all. It is organised by the Rauma Main Library and the city’s youth services.

Sports Day on Saturday 29.3.

The Rauma’s Children’s Parliament is organising a Family Sports Day at the Kari’s Campus gym on Saturday 29.3. from 12-15.
The Sports Day will give you the chance to discover and try out different sports, including basketball, football, ice hockey, wrestling, judo, taekwondo and fencing. You can also play badminton and ping-pong. In addition to all these, the gym has its own equipment, and there’s even a trick track for the little ones in the family. Be prepared to get sweaty by bringing your own water bottle!

More details to come before the event. Welcome to join us!

A new addition to the hobby model: the MIX Club

From January 2025, the MIX club for 7th-9th graders will start as part of the Hobby model.

The MIX club is, as the name suggests, a mix of different activities. You can come to MIX Club to try different activities such as badminton, Kangoo Jumps, crochet, shooting, fabric printing, gel printing, cooking and much more. During the club we also go to the theatre, a flea market and have a movie night at Kuovi.
The club is run by the city’s youth leaders and meets on Mondays from 15.15 – 17.00. The first session is on Monday 13.1.2025.

After registration, participants will be sent more detailed information about the content and schedule. The locations vary, but are close to Rauma city centre and secondary schools.
