Kulttuurikeskus Ninho ry invites all members to our 2026 General Members Assembly! We are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of our association, and we need you more than ever to keep our projects alive!
Ninho Annual Assembly will be celebrated on Wednesday 18.3.2026. It is a crucial event for our association, not only to fulfill the formalities that come with any association, but also a special occasion to come together as a community and celebrate the strength that unites us around the values and mission of our association: develop a more multicultural and multilingual children’s culture in Finland.
The Government’s plan to cut grants for culture and social associations is reducing our budget every year, so we need all possible support to continue working on our mission. We organise Kolibrí Festivaali and many other events throughout the year, and we develop new projects as well, so we truly need your support!
If you have ever join our events, volunteer or performed with us, it is a great moment to join the Ninho community!
Save the date!

Why is it important to be present at Ninho General Assembly 2026?
As indicated by the Finnish Associations Act, “the members of the association decide on the activities of the association in the general meetings”. The future of our association depends on all of us, and every opinion counts.
Ninho’s actions are decided by the members. 💜 We do it together! By being present, you will know where the money from your membership fee is invested, understand the work done by the board, workers, and volunteers (let’s not forget their important work), and strengthen our community. Also, as mentioned before, we face an amazing year! So we’d love to have all members aboard.
For those unsure of the purpose of an association’s assembly, we suggest watching this video that also describes the board’s activities. Consider proposing your name as one of its members!
We sincerely appreciate your commitment and active participation in the development and strengthening of our association.
