Helsinki Flow School
Helsinki Flow School is a workshop model designed from a youth perspective, where they can learn extensively about the events industry and the work opportunities it offers.
At workshops and meetings, the participants learn about the areas of events production and conceptualise and plan an event to be realised at the end of the course. The meetings include lectures and tutorials directed by experts in events production and youth workers.
As a result of the Helsinki Flow School held in autumn 2020, the You X by Helsinki Flow School event and its implementation plan were created based on the ideas of the young people themselves.
The event will be held in Suvilahti, Helsinki, on Saturday 18 September 2021. The Helsinki Flow School collaboration between the City of Helsinki and the Flow Festival, which started in autumn 2020, will culminate in September!
You can apply for the next Helsinki Flow School in autumn 2021.
You X by Helsinki Flow School
In October 2020, one of the largest festivals in Finland, Flow Festival, and the largest employer in Finland, the City of Helsinki, formed the Helsinki Flow School workshop series to introduce young people aged 15–29 to the production side of the events industry.
The mentors from the City of Helsinki and Flow Festival provided the young people with the tools for realising their ideas. Through this cooperation, You X by Helsinki Flow School was created. This event will be held for the first time this summer.
The young people organising You X envisioned an event of the future on their own terms and created a concept that, instead of big names, focuses on diverse new talent, environmental values and chilled out fun.
You X provides the stage, and the young people bring their talent. In the Tiivistämö area in Suvilahti, you will be able to experience an explosive festival spirit in a package that young people have curated for themselves.
18 September: The whole is packaged by the You X main event, which will star current artists and street art experts
