We had the pleasure of visiting The Nordic House in the Faroe Islands back in 2022. This was a wonderful trip filled with inspiration and joy, and we have been looking for the possibility to return and continue working with design learning methods. We were happy to receive a travel grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation last Fall, and are returning to the beautiful town of Tórshavn this February. SuoMu team this time is our own Mari Savio, our head of board Paula Susitaival, together members and designers Anna Kokki and Siri Lumme.
Join for SuoMu Aternoon Tea on Thursday February 22, 2024 3-5pm
During this one-week trip, we will be holding three workshops for school groups. The theme will be responsibility and sustainability, following the Nordic House’s programme focus. Together with the local school children we are building the new round of World-Saving-Machines and also encouraging a critical view on what should be done to make the living environment better. Participants will ideate and create The first machines made by children were exhibited at Milano Triennale in 2019, and the Faroese edition machines will be shown to the public during the Children’s Festival held in the Nordic House later this spring.
We look forward to the trip and this collaboration, and cannot wait to see how questions like How can humans act to support the systems that enable life on Earth, instead of causing destruction? How can design help?
Designers and instructors from the Finnish Design Learning Association guide participants as they create prototypes from local surplus materials. Attention has been paid to choosing recycled materials, that are available locally. Tape, glue and other easy methods are used to build the prototypes.

SuoMu was invited to join the Frítt Flog festival that was held in The Nordic House in the Faroe Islands (in Faroese:Norðurlandahúsið).

Suomen muotoilukasvatusseura ry Suomu kiersi tänä syksynä Suomea neljällä paikkakunnalla. Vierailimme Tampereella, Mikkelissä, Joensuussa ja Oulussa. Syksyn aikana järjestimme moodboard-lyhytkursseja yhteistyössä paikallisten opistojen kanssa. Lisäksi järjestimme muotoiluoppimisesta kiinnostuneille opetus- ja kulttuurialan ammattilaisille ammattilaisiltoja, joissa kokoonnuttiin yhteen keskustelemaan kivan tekemisen äärellä. Luovan oppimisen juhlan päätösjuhlaa vietetään tiistaina 3.12. webinaarissa, katso lisätiedot ja ilmoittaudu täällä! Pääpuheenvuorona kuulemme …
