Join us for a screening of Lesley Riddoch's new film 'Finland: The happiest country that almost didn't exist' - the screening is followed by a Q&A with Lesley Riddoch.

Finland - the happiest country that almost didn’t exist

Finland is a sub-arctic state with a Scotland-sized population, snow, Santa, trees and a precarious land border with Russia. It’s also been the worlds happiest country for eight years running, with the best education system, food security and levels of trust in government and in one another. Helsinki folk were more likely to hand in a dropped wallet than folk in any other world capital. Not bad for a country that almost ceased to exist in the 20th century after famine, civil war and invasion. What explains their incredible transformation? 

Please note that there are no physical tickets for this event - There will be a guest list at the door, with the number of tickets next to your name.
