In the early years of SuoMu’s activities at HDW, there were lectures and talks by SuoMu contributors, and later, fun workshops took over the event venues. In 2015, we were part of the Children’s Design Weekend at Suvilahti, with the “Floating Vehicles” workshop, where participants tested their prototypes in a water pool. The vehicles floated, moved, and dissolved as hundreds of visitors created their own versions of water travel.
In 2019, Etana Editions was responsible for the Children’s Design Week program and we were another partner at Annantalo. During the week, we designed carpets using collage techniques in a competition – the winning design was made into a real carpet at Lindström’s factory. The world-saving machines that had previously traveled to the Milan Triennale were on display at Annantalo. New world-improving machines were also created in an open workshop over the weekend.
After the pandemic in 2021, it was time to celebrate again, and HDW asked us to create new material for Helsinki’s cultural path for use in all Helsinki schools. This led to the creation of children’s PechaKucha material, which helps in building one’s own speech and practicing presentation skills. The following year, Mari Savio was part of HDW’s program with the Children’s PechaKucha at the Oodi Central Library.

In this celebratory year, SuoMu is a partner of HDW during Children’s Design Week. We bring the Children’s design demonstration to the Turbine Hall at Cable Factory, where everyone can create their own protest signs for a better urban environment for children.
The Children’s design demonstration is about play and rebellion for a more enjoyable, better, and more interesting children’s living environment.
