Manga and Anime Hobby for Grades 3-6

Manga and anime hobby is designed for students in grades 3-6 and requires no prior experience. The hobby covers fundamentals such as drawing techniques and differences from Western comics, and as skills develop, participants explore various manga and anime styles in greater depth. Activities are completed both individually and in groups, with emphasis on participants' own interests and preferences.

The hobby begins in week 37 starting Monday, September 8, 2025, and runs throughout the school year. The group does not meet during school holidays. Participation is free, and the City of Espoo has insured participants.

Registration opens on Thursday, August 21. Everyone is welcome regardless of language skills, abilities, or hobby background - support for participation is also available. During registration, you can mention any support needs your child may have or other matters to consider. It is also possible to visit the group before registering.

The hobby is part of Espoo's hobby pathway, which implements Finland's national hobby model. The hobby activities follow safer space principles.
