Backpack Buddy Workshop

In this workshop, participants create their own backpack buddy character.

Rosalina, the main character in Maria Vilja's books "The Invisible Backpack", has a soft friend named Piggy who serves as her power figure and expresses her feelings. In the workshop, each participant makes a similar friend who can travel along as their own power figure and remind them of the existence of the secret backpack. At the same time, we think about what the most important reminder for your own backpack buddy could be.

The workshop is led by illustrator-author Maria Vilja and children's and youth emotional skills coach Reetta Huhta. Entry is free.
