kirjoituspäiden

Kirjoituspäiden, also known as "writing days" in English, are a cultural phenomenon in Finland, particularly in the city of Turku. These events are organized by the Turku City Library and are designed to promote reading and writing among the local community. The term "Kirjoituspäiden" is a play on words, combining "kirjoitus" (writing) and "päivät" (days), reflecting the focus on writing and the duration of the event.

The events typically take place over a weekend and include a variety of activities aimed at encouraging both children and adults to engage with literature. These activities may include writing workshops, book readings, and discussions with authors. The goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where people of all ages can explore their creativity and appreciation for literature.

Kirjoituspäiden has gained popularity in recent years, attracting participants from across Finland and beyond. The event has been praised for its ability to foster a love for reading and writing, as well as for its role in promoting cultural exchange and community engagement. The success of Kirjoituspäiden has led to similar events being organized in other cities and regions, further spreading the tradition of writing days across Finland.
