SUMMARY:Light for Families -  Valoa Perheille
DESCRIPTION:“Light for Families” family event \n\n\n\nThis autumn\, we will dive into the fascinating world of insects – through light at Art Garden Botania in Joensuu\, Finland. \n\n\n\nUniversity of Eastern Finland\, together with University of Eastern Finland’s LUMA Center and the Photonics Flagship PREIN\, invites you to participate in the “Light for Families” family event on Saturday\, 8 November 2025\, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Joensuu’s Art Garden Botania! \n\n\n\nThe “Light for Families” event is being organised for the fifth time\, and year after year it has grown in popularity while bringing photonics – the science of light – closer to children and young people. \n\n\n\nThis autumn\, we will dive into the fascinating world of insects – through light. The theme focuses on small but important insects and studying them with the tools of photonics. A day full of fun and insightful activities awaits the whole family! \n\n\n\nFor children (approximately 3–12 years old)\, there will be an exciting adventure to uncover the secrets of the insect world using light science. The adventure is suitable for younger children together with an adult\, and for older ones to explore independently. \n\n\n\nDuring the day\, visitors can also make a traditional Father’s Day gift – naturally using photonics. In addition\, you can enjoy the enchanting surroundings of the Art Garden Botania\, where insects are bustling about and inspiring exploration. \n\n\n\nThe event is free of charge and open to everyone. Come and spend a bright autumn day with your family\, learn something new\, and celebrate Father’s Day in the company of insects and light! \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Iiro Muhonen via email at iiro.muhonen@uef.fi or by phone at 050 324 2548.
