Would you like to find a new friend, acquaintance or even a bestie? Or do you simply want to practice meeting new people? On Friday, October 23, from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM, IrisHelsinki is hosting a speedfriending event designed for meeting new people in a LGBTQIA+ friendly and safer setting. We’ll start the evening with casual conversation over a cup of cocoa. At 5:00 PM, we’ll begin with a group introduction, followed by rounds where each participant chats with every other participant for a few minutes. After the rounds, there will be time for relaxed socializing and board games. The event is aimed at LGBTQAI+ youth aged 16–25; we respect everyone's right to self-definition. IrisHelsinki’s "safer space" principles apply to the event. Registration is open until Wednesday, October 22. Space is limited, so please sign up via this link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/V19q10Bmrw The event is free of charge and will be held in Finnish.

If you do and are curious to try out a new game, that is also fine. On some evenings we might delve into a horror themed game, that would be less suitable for younger participants, but we can adjust the content based on who wants to play. You do not need to bring anything. Dice and other material will be provided. The language will be English. October 24th November 7th November 21st Drop by anytime!

These events are meant for 16-to-28-year-old women and girls while respecting gender self-identification and diversity. We speak both Finnish and English at the event. Events are held on Fridays on even-numbered weeks from 16:30 to 22:00. Are you interested in PC or console gaming in a safer space? Do you want to try out a VR headset? Are you looking for friends interested in the same things as you? Come and get your gaming on at this gaming event meant for women and girls! At other womens and girls' gaming nights we played Overwatch, Jackbox games and Mario Kart, what should we play this time? Gamehouse Sture has 20 powerful gaming PCs, Nintento Switch and Playstation 5 consoles, VR headsets and loads of board games. The event has youth workers (Siikku and Jonathan!) there to help you out with technical difficulties, choosing games and finding people to play game with. Playing with the PCs requires your own accounts, so make sure you know how to log in to your Steam, Epic or Battlenet account. You can download games to the PCs with our super-fast internet, as long as you have a license for it. PEGI 18 games are not allowed in the space due to there being under 18-year-olds present. We require the free Helsinki Youth Services membership card, more commonly known as Jässäri. The first time you visit you don't have to have everything ready, the youth workers can help you out! More information about Jässäri can be read here. More info: email: pelitalo@hel.fi Discord: siikkuohjaaja, jonttu_ohjaaja Instagram: PelitaloSture phone/WA: 0406433225 Directions on video
