Kulttuurikeskus Ninho ry invites all members to our 2025 General Members Assembly! Like every year around this time, the Annual Assembly will be celebrated on 18.3.2025. It is a crucial event for our association, not only to fulfill the formalities that come with any association, but also a special occasion to come together as a community and celebrate the strength that unites us around the values and mission of our association: develop a more multicultural and plurilingual children’s culture in Finland.
Also, remember this 2025 marks a very important occasion: the 10th anniversary of our beloved Kolibrí Festivaali! So we need all support possible to turn this birthday into a huge party! But Kolibrí is not our only project. We organise other events during the year, and develop more projects, so we need your support!
If you have ever join our events, volunteer or performed with us, it is a great moment to join the Ninho community!
Save the date!

Why is it important to be present at Ninho General Assembly 2025?
As indicated by the Finnish Associations Act, “the members of the association decide on the activities of the association in the general meetings”. The future of our association depends on all of us, and every opinion counts.
Ninho’s actions are decided by the members. 💜 We do it together! By being present, you will know where the money from your membership fee is invested, understand the work done by the board, workers, and volunteers (let’s not forget their important work), and strengthen our community. Also, as mentioned before, we face an amazing year! So we’d love to have all members aboard.
For those unsure of the purpose of an association’s assembly, we suggest watching this video that also describes the board’s activities. Consider proposing your name as one of its members!
We sincerely appreciate your commitment and active participation in the development and strengthening of our association.
