Helsinki (dis)connected

Living life offline

Helsinki (dis)connected - Beyond the Screen is a solidarity project born out of the desire to propose accessible alternatives to spending time in front of screens.  We want to offer possibilities to meet new people, try out new hobbies, build a responsible relationship with technology, and enhance personal development in a chill atmosphere. Our goal is to create a community where everyone can come as they are and go home richer with new experiences and friendships 🫶

What happens at each event?

The project takes place in the form of free and fun events on a monthly basis. The events are diverse, such as trying a hobby, workshops, visits to local cultural and natural destinations, or just a chill hangout with a fun activity - the most important thing is living in the moment, without phones. Each event is in English and we offer free, plant-based food. The project strives to ensure that all events are accessible and adhere to the principles of a safe place. 

When was the last time you enjoyed something without taking a photo or checking your phone? If your answer is somewhat alarming and if you are interested in learning new skills, meeting people from diverse backgrounds, or just want to find purposeful activities, don't hesitate to join the events, alone or with friends! ✨

You can read more about the upcoming events on the left sidebar. Please note that even though the events are free of charge, registration beforehand is always required! You can also go follow the project on Instagram, updates on upcoming events will be posted there: https://www.instagram.com/helsinki_disconnected/?hl=en
