The We want future! festival brings circular economy solutions into life in a whole day youth event. During the day different workshops, pop up events, discussions, fashion shows and exhibitions showcase how can we save the climate in our everyday lives. The central library Oodi will be packed with opportunities to make solar panels, cook and try out delicious cricket and left over – foods, learn what business solutions secondary high school students have created, repair and remake clothes and participate in inspiring discussions about making the future we want happen. The specific timetable with all the exciting topics will be published during week 21.
