Programme


Sensibus Festival 12.-15.3.2014 is a multimodal and multisensory event, which presents innovative ways to combine different sensory elements into one experience. The event combines culinary arts, music, aromas and other cultural and art forms.

Sensibus Festival will present interactive lectures, workshops, showcases and actual dinners and events, which are all combined by the idea of multisensory experiences. Seminars and workshops are focused for professionals (music, food, culture), but are open to everyone, though.

The seminar and workshops 13.-14.3. will be held in English, but some part of the programme is in Finnish.
