The 2025 theme of “inclusion” and encouraging children’s play and creativity are important values in children’s culture. The theme is also visible in this year’s touring workshop. In the Biisinikkarit workshop, a completely new song with lyrics, melody and arrangements is created with the help of instructors. The inspiration and theme comes from the participants, i.e. the children, and they get to influence the construction of the song from the very beginning. The Biisinikkarit workshop will tour over ten municipalities in Pirkanmaa during February.

The month's program includes many other interesting and inspiring cultural events produced by private actors, colleges, cultural centers and municipalities in Pirkanmaa. Check out the program on the Children's Pirkkasten website.

Please note that changes to the program are possible. Follow the event communication.

Children's Pirkkaset is planned and developed by the Pirkkaset working group, which includes of municipal cultural officials and is coordinated by the City of Tampere.
