Ohjelmani Turun kirjamessuilla 2.-4.10.2026

Turun kirjamessut lähestyvät uhkaavasti (oikeasti aika rennosti lähestyvät) ja minä olen ohjelmassa tänä vuonna kahtena päivänä: perjantaina ja lauantaina. Ohjelmakattaukseeni mahtuu monenlaista koululaishaastatteluista miljöön pohdintaan ja Laivakello-paneeliin. Tulkaa katsomaan ja kuuntelemaan, ja kuten aina, hihasta saa aina nykäistä ja moikata myös messuhumussa törmätessä!

Magdalena’s Quotes

“Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
