The YMCA Peace and Sports Zone invites festival goers to play street football and do poetry in rap workshops! YMCA Finland, Helsinki YMCA Yökoris / Midnight Basketball and the YMCA Peacemakers youth are building a whole activity area for the World Village Festival. There will be sustainable development bingo, peace and love, hanging out in the lounge, as well as baby football and face painting for the little ones! The atmosphere will be set by our very own DJ!
A schedule of workshops and other programmes will be published later.
