In Maria Vilja's Invisible Backpack books, Rosali has a friend named Possu who stays beside her and helps put feelings into words. In the workshop, each participant makes a personal backpack friend and considers the important reminder it could carry. The workshop is led by illustrator-author Maria Vilja and children's emotional-skills instructor Reetta Huhta. Colouring sheets and a display of Vilja's books are also available.

- Accessibility
- The route to the entrance is smooth, wide and lit, with a short ramp at the door. The entrance has thresholds over 2 cm and a cramped foyer. An accessible-marked toilet is on the same floor, but its door is not easy to open and close. The exact workshop layout has not been confirmed.
