Thursday Cafe — Positiiviset ry (HivFinland)
About the event
We’re gathering for monthly international events at our meeting place in Kamppi. The goal is to bring people together through cooking, sharing meals, learning new recipes, and building a strong and inclusive community and enjoy a collaborative dining experience.
The meetings are for all people living with HIV and their close ones. The meetings are international, and our main language will be English – if needed, we’ll help each other understand the conversation and interpret from one language to another.
This event will focus on community and cultural food exchange. Each month may feature a theme, guest cook, or special focus to keep the event engaging and dynamic. We’re encouraging volunteering and teamwork, and with the participants we’re sharing ideas and developing a sustainable, recurring event model.
