For the first time in HELSINKI on MAY 13, internationally touring comedian Dinara Kerey brings her hit solo show Crazy Eurasian - a sharp, hilarious, and brutally honest take on identity, dating, and growing up post-Soviet, Asian and Muslim (WHAT?!). Born in Kazakhstan and based in Berlin, Dinara has opened for top comedians across Europe, including Russell Peters, David Cross, Maz Jobrani, Tina Friml and Mario Adrion. Her comedy blends cultural confusion, family pressure, and the chaos of being “too Eastern for the West and too Western for the East.” Tickets on sale here: https://fienta.com/de/crazyeurasianhelsinki

Hello sporty population! Join us for badminton and meet people from around the world! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or already experienced. **IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, so please reserve yours in advance. Only registered participants can join to ensure fair access for everyone. If you mark “going” but do not attend, or fail to cancel at least 1 day before(By 9pm Saturday), you may be suspended from the next two sessions. 📍 Location: Talihalli Huopalahti ⏰ Time: 12:00–13:30 🏸 Courts: 9, 10, and 11 You can meet us at the entrance a little before 11:00 or come directly to the courts (**please do not enter before our booking starts**).

We are committed to making our events and activities accessible to those who need them most. Therefore, **individuals with a refugee background are welcome to attend free of charge without prior registration.** If you plan to join, simply send a message to Alaa to let us know you’re coming. This approach is intentional. Many refugees and newcomers face practical, cultural, and psychological barriers that can make formal registration difficult or discouraging. By removing this requirement, we aim to create a more inclusive, low-threshold environment where participation feels safe, simple, and welcoming. Our events are designed to support the mental health and well-being of refugees and immigrants, while also encouraging dialogue that challenges cross-cultural stigmas and stereotypes. We believe open access is an important step in building trust, increasing participation, and creating meaningful connections across communities. After badminton, we'll enjoy Talihalli's sauna and maybe go to a local restaurant to grab some lunch after the game.
