Women’s Café in English

"This group saved my life"

Welcome to Svenska Kvinnoförbundet i Sörnäs meeting point for women: Women’s Café in English, in the heart of Helsinki. 

Spring season 2025 will start with a meeting on Friday, January 10, and end with a meeting on Friday, June 6. Note: There will be no meeting on April 18 due to Easter.

Autumn season 2025 will start on Friday, August 22, and end with a meeting on Friday, December 19.

Spring season 2026 will start with a meeting on Friday, January 16, and end with a meeting on Friday, May 29.

The meetings take place from 12:00 to 2:00 pm and are organised in an informal way around a cup of tea or coffee. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends and get involved in what’s happening locally.

Each meeting focuses on a specific topic, such as job searching, language courses, or everyday life in Finland. Children are also welcome. We serve coffee, tea, and snacks. No registration is required — just show up.

The location is “Hörnet” at Luckan Helsinki, Yrjönkatu 27. You can enter from Yrjönkatu (a few steps) or through the door shown in the picture (step-free access with an automatic door). Sometimes the meetings are held on the 6th floor in the same building; in those cases, there will be a sign on the door to Hörnet.

Do you want to know in advance what’s happening at the café?

Join our whatsapp group by contacting Café Coordinator Tega Oke at tega.oke@kvinnoforbundet.fi. Guest and themes are also sometimes announced on social media such as on instagram kvinnis_sornas or in the facebookgroup Women's Café in English Networking.

 

 

The cafe is organized by Svenska Kvinnoförbundet i Sörnäs in collaboration with Luckan Integration.
