Deeds of Hope 10.12 🧵 Crafts and Activism

Join us for a solidarity crafts evening!  🎨

Our December guest organization for Deeds of Hope is Crafts4Gaza 🇵🇸
Crafts4Gaza’s volunteers create handcrafted items and donate all profits from their sales to support Gaza.

During the event, the volunteers will introduce their work and share more about their initiatives such as the weekly craft club Vapauden Virkkaajat. 

You’re warmly welcome to join if you’re curious about the organization, want to support it, or would like to get involved.

The evening will also include a craft workshop  facilitated by Crafts4Gaza volunteers!
Participants will have the chance to create items that will be donated to support the organization’s efforts.

No previous crafting experience is needed ✨ volunteers will guide you through the process.

All materials will be provided by Allianssi Youth Exchanges’ volunteers, who will also serve a free vegan meal 🥙 to all registered participants.

This event is part of the Deeds of Hope project, which will continue throughout 2026!

About the project – Deeds of Hope

Deeds of Hope is a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) solidarity project. It’s created by youth, run by volunteers, and co-funded by the European Union.
It consists of a series of monthly events where we meet to share knowledge about activism and social engagement, explore the impact of Helsinki’s changemakers, and learn how to become part of movements for change.
We’ll get our hands dirty in practical workshops, where each month’s featured movement or organization shares hands-on skills and knowledge gained from their experience in activism.

We also offer free plant-based meals, cooked by our volunteers with primarily seasonal and locally produced ingredients.
