World Village Festival in Helsinki

Maippi Tapanainen at the World Comics Finland stand.

Each year in May, activists meet at the World Village Festival in Helsinki. This multi-cultural  event gives an opportunity for people to meet and interact in a friendly atmosphere.


Our stand was as usual very popular.  We told about our work, presented  grassroots comics, sold pins, post cards and comics for fundraising.

Some of our members had prepared new cards on the Comics Power!-theme for sale at the festival, a few examples below:
