Helsinki University Museum Flame provides University of Helsinki students with open, free-of-charge afternoon sessions entitled ‘Basking in the Flame’. We offer a friendly and comfortable meeting place for all students, regardless of their personal circumstances. You can join us on your own or with a companion, or find someone to talk to while taking part.
Registration is required for each session, and you can attend one or more. We will meet in the Helsinki University Museum Flame’s exhibition centre in the University’s Main Building (address: Fabianinkatu 33, Helsinki). The meetings will be led by museum staff. The sessions comply with the principles for safer spaces, and photographing participants is prohibited.
We look forward to seeing you!
