The film club immerses you in the magical world of films and animations. In the club we teach history of film as well as the basics of animation and filmmaking through various storytelling, drawing, modeling, crafting and filming activities.
Based on the children’s own stories, we’ll practice performing, teamwork skills and film making. During viewing sessions, we’ll reflect on the different genres seen in films and social media and explore the impact of music and sound in videos.
No previous experience in animation or filmmaking is necessary.

Craft Art club (1-6.graders) 3.9.-26.11.2026
Thursdays from 14:30 to 16:00 | Taidetalo
Through experimentation, exploration, materials and relaxation, we create a shared moment for artistic expression. No previous experience in crafts is required. It is enough to have an interest in crafts or creative work. We use recycled materials in a variety of ways in the club. We’ll work on an individual art piece for the duration of 1 to 2 club days before trying something new. Techniques include weaving and braiding, embroidery and hand sewing according to the child's own skill level.
