So today was Soita Mummolle Päivä and I must admit that the public reaction to it was mindblowing!

Many tv and radio stations, plus blogs, discussion forums, mags and papers covered the happening and so many wonderful people has shown up to the call-your-grandparents flashmob in Kamppi. I also received very supportive emails and had interesting, warm conversations with many supporters who came to the flashmob: I really felt that this time in my life I did something good and right not only for me and I had something to share with others. It was a great personal reward and I really want to thank you all for making this event possible! 🙂

I am really too tired to write anything more detailed and nicer than this tonight, but yes, the concept is: thank you! Especially thank you Teemu, Siru, Jaakko, my love Jussi, Marika, Reetta, Anssi, Dan, Anu, Minsu, Atefee, Ville, Anne, Duong, Yan, Annaleena, Päivi, Heikki, Krista, Karolina, Maija, Dhiraj, Yanhuan, Riitta, Arja, Tiina, the Agricola youth, Aalto Social Impact, plus the heart-knitters Tintti, Tea, Carol, Carola, Riitta, Lee and Akua, plus all those nice journalists that talked about the campaign and helped spreading the word! ❤

(I hope I haven’t forgotten anybody of you very helpful people; if I did it, it’s just because I need to sleep after this week!)

A week full of excitement for Soita Mummolle!

This week will be – and has already been, even if it’s only Monday!- full of excitement and progresses for the Soita Mummolle campaign. Here are briefly some highlights of the good things going on:

  • Today I presented the project to the audience of Aalto Social Impact lectures. Many support pictures were collected, among which one from rapper Signmark, the special guest of the lecture! The mood was great and inspiring, and the story of deaf rapper Signmark really gave food for thoughts to everybody. Check out all the photos from the photo gallery

Signmark & Soita Mummolle

  • A batch of 2500 coloured paper sheets is ready to be soon printed and transformed in Soita Mummolle signs: be ready to see them around the city!
  • Wednesday 19.5 the 1st Soita Mummolle Street Action will take place! Already 6 people signed up for this flash-mob and I am really satisfied about this result, even though it might seem small. Our network is keeping on growing and I am sure that along these summer months more interested people will be willing to join the action with a big smile! 🙂 I am very looking forward to Wednesday, even though I am a bit nervous for the debut and I hope everything will roll out nice and smooth. By the way, you are still in time to join! For more information and the link to the subscription spreadsheet visit the Facebook event page (but PLEASE, just not mark “attending”… use the Google spreadsheet given!)
  • New partners onboard! Negotiations for cooperation with Agricola Church and Sonera are proceeding: both (hopefully) future partners have shown a lot of enthusiasm and positive energy about the Soita Mummolle campaign… I got also in contact with artist Helena Björk, whose master thesis was focused on urban knitting, so we will soon meet and see how is possible to collaborate… but more news will come later, let’s not reveal all the juicy things at once!
  • The Facebook group has been moved to a Facebook page, due to the high number of fans, and in the migration it collected already 156 “likes” in only one day 🙂 So keep on following the campaign on the new page! http://www.facebook.com/SoitaMummolle
  • Tomorrow, Tuesday 18.5, some billposting in TKK and TaiK, before the schools get completely empty for the summer

All for now, and remember to call your grandparents!
