Have you ever thought about how exciting your hometown or village really is? Houses, parks, bridges, and schools—all of these are part of the built environment. During the children’s autumn event week, we will look up at the roofs and cornerstones, the trees and benches in the park, and marvel at how humans have shaped the environment. In Syys-Vekara, we will explore the alleys and neighborhoods of Varkaus, watch performances, and build our own creations in workshops. There will be fun and constructive activities for all ages!
