Writing your own life story is a fascinating journey into your past — and one of the greatest gifts you can give to future generations! Who will tell your story if not you?

Welcome to hear about six steps for writing your own life story at the Kaija event space in Tapiola Library on Wed 8 April from 17:00 to 18:00!

You will learn where to start and how to proceed with writing your story. How to narrow down the content and choose the most engaging episodes? How to bring the work to completion?

The tips will be provided by Marjo Tiirikka, who published Pikaopas elämäntarinan ja sukutarinoiden kirjoittamiseen in February.

The event is in Finnish.
