NOVA is a free-time space of our own for young people in Helsinki. Hang out with friends, play games, make music, do your homework or just chill. There's always an adult youth worker around you can talk to about anything.
At NOVA, young people plan the activities themselves: clubs, events and trips come from your ideas. Everyone is welcome – whatever your language, background or group of friends.
Everything is free and you don't need to sign up. Come alone or bring a friend!
