Steam of Life
Artikkelin kategoriat: Elokuvat
Welcome to a special documentary event dedicated to life and humanity - stories, experiences, connections, life itself.
What remains when the steam rises and the layers are shed?
We in the Room for Cultures with all our cooperative partners warmly invite you to join us a special documentary event dedicated to life and humanity – stories, experiences, connections, life itself. Many thanks to Alma Adult Education Centre for their generosity in sponsoring this screening!
While the film captures Finnish men speaking from the heart, it is a beautiful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability—a message for the whole community. Also, the documentary as a sauna centric film represents well the Finnish culture, is a beautiful introduction to the ”silent” strength of Finnish culture and is in line with our aim to support the interaction between people, cultures. Our mind matters!
The Flow of the Afternoon:
15:00: Film Screening at the Vaasa City Library.
16:30: Refreshment Break. We’ll head outdoors for grilled sausages and cold drinks.
17:00The Shared Dialogue: The Shared Dialogue: We are bringing the ”sauna spirit” to our discussion tables. With our peers we can reflect on the film and change thoughts of in a safe environment. What is it to be a man/woman in 2026? What is it that brings you peace or joy? How do the responsibilities feel like? These facilitated small-group talks are designed to be easy to participate in, so no skills or certain kind of attendance are required.
Also listening to the other peers is attendance.
The talks are facilitated in gender sensitive groups (men with men, female with female) and held by peers – by ordinary men, ordinary women. We will have facilitators with diverse backgrounds so you can participate in Finnish or English group. However, these discussions will be held in partnership with Mielle ry and Mieli Pohjanmaa, as they know very well how Our Minds Matter.
Join us in creating a culture of openness. See you on May 23rd!
