Finnish culture @ Expo

Finnish culture includes everything from the sedate to the crazy, from classical music to street art. We like Sibelius, applied design, video art, hiphop dance and electric kantele: anything that is full of simple emotion and energy. And while we may watch too much television, our creative industries are experiencing a renaissance as our young people discover the joys of creativity.


Join the culture club

 

Culture is more than performance. It needs organized cooperation and we are seeking to build cultural networks in China that will remain alive long after the Expo., We believe we can forge effective cultural partnerships. We look forward to networking with our friends and future partners to expand the dialogue and the sharing of inspiration between our countries.


Finland Day on 27th May 2010


Beyond Kirnu, Finnish cultural events will be arranged in other Expo venues and on tour in Shanghai and the rest of China. 27th May will be a special day for Finland, with events over the whole Expo area. Government representatives will be present to receive their Chinese colleagues.
