Main Projects / Activities

Our main project in Somalia and Somaliland is NASIB – Women´s Media Training 2007-2014. NASIB focuses on health information and is implemented in collaboration with local partner organizations HARDO and SOCSA. The project goal is women´s self-employment and professionalism in media (tv, radio, print). HADYA – Women´s Community Theatre project is another ongoing project in Somalia and Somaliland. In Finland, our main project in 2010-2011 was a participatory art installation and workshop project Pots, Sandals and a Tent as a part of the official Turku 2011 European Capital of Culture program. Since then, the exhibition and tent has been on tour in Finland in various events and venues. Apart from our own projects, we have designed and completed an amount of workshops and media productions commissioned by other organizations. As examples of our service, we conducted a grass roots comics drawing workshop in Burco, Somaliland commissioned by ISF Finland, and completed a 5-language DVD-production about health services for refugees in Finland, commissioned by IOM and funded by ERF. We continue to provide media and training services, the profit from which we invest back to our projects as self-financing.
