Meeting point
Helsinki Railway Station
A Soita Mummolle Street Action is somethin simple, in only 11 steps:
– Leave from home and remember to bring your digital camera!
– We are meeting in front of Helsinki Railway Station at 17.30
– We are given Soita Mummolle signs
– Either alone or in couples we are reaching a busy spot in the city center
– We show the Soita Mummolle sign to the passer-bys, just standing, smiling, searching for eye contact with the people
– If a passer-by reacts in some way (smiling back, laughing, commenting, asking, keeping the eye contact…) then you are going to ask “Do you think this is a good message?”.
From then you have to try to engage in a short conversation, leading to the point of: “This is a campaign to sensitize against seniors’ loneliness. We don’t want your money, but can we take a picture of you, showing this sign? Then we are going to publish it on our blog as a sign of your personal support to this cause: we are trying to collect as many pictures as possible!”
– Take the photo!
– Leave the sign to the person, telling that s/he can see the picture taken at the blog or Facebook address written on the sign
– Try to collect as many pictures as possible
– All the participants are meeting back at the train station at 19.00 and tell each other how did it go
– The participants have to upload the pictures taken on Soita Mummolle Facebook page as soon as possible, giving as title place and date (e.g. Kamppi, 2.6.2010). Join the group and you will be enabled to upload your pics!
The address f the Facebook page is facebook.com/SoitaMummolle
