What kind of events?
Vantaa Culture Kids receive invitations to cultural visits every year until the child starts school.
The events targeted at Vantaa Culture Kids have been planned to support children's development and different developmental stages. An adult's and child’s together time promotes the wellbeing of the entire family and their coping with everyday life.
The events are arranged by art and cultural actors in different parts of the city. The events are suitable for all families, regardless of language proficiency and cultural background, unless otherwise announced.
It can be exciting to participate in an events with babies and small children. The events have, however, been planned in a child-oriented way, to make participation as easy as possible. The staff of the event will guide and support the participants.
