Game and discussion evening on Tuesdays at 3:30-6:00 pm
Gloria’s discussion and game activities are aimed at young people and young adults from different cultures. All group participants can participate in the planning and implementation of the activities. The activities have started at the request of young people in Gloria.
In the evenings, people discuss and play, for example, ping-pong and board games. The group also has the opportunity to get information about current events in the city and other useful activities and services. Events are also organized together. Gloria’s youth work can also include individual guidance, which is usually provided by a Gloria employee. The atmosphere is very relaxed, safe and accepting. Participants can make Finnish friends and learn more about the city and the society in which they live.
Discussion and game evenings sometimes have guest facilitators and more guided activities and discussions. They are announced in advance. The themes of the discussions can be, for example, one’s own identity, education and working life, health / mental health or housing. Participants can suggest themes for the discussions. Whenever a theme requires expertise, we try to get professionals/experts in the field to initiate discussions. A Gloria employee moderates the discussions and ensures that the discussion is safe for everyone. Through these collaborative patterns, young people get to know new worldviews, activities, services and people.
