The program spans everything from mobile phone throwing and Hän carrying to henna painting and cultural artefacts, each embassy showcasing itself its own way.

“Windows to the World is by far our biggest public diplomacy event of the year. Damsel and Sprout make the challenge easier by taking care of so much of the practical and logistical arrangements.” Embassy of Finland.
