Our recommendations:

• All of Us Are Alice: Play with wonder machines and discover your fascination.
• SMÅLAND: Unleash your inner child, because this version of SMÅLAND has no age limit. Discover how color, material, and form play with design. 
• Hungry? Visit the edible exhibition ENSEMBLE. Five designers take you into the world of food design with five short films and a five-course menu.

Sectie-C is in the middle of nowhere, but you will likely pass by the station on your way back (or vice versa). Don't forget to make a stop at Fuutlaan. You can check out the Swedish School of Textiles graduation exhibition, featuring all kinds of woven, knitted, and printed works. Or join the Mat Party: a social design game that explores togetherness in public spaces.

Other fun things to do in the area

This year, The Social Hub hosts three installations about play and empathy. It promises a platform for equality, happiness, and inclusion. Think of a multidisciplinary short film, a charm bracelet that shares stories of women from refugee centers, and a cookie jar full of 'multicultural cookies' to stimulate exchange and openness between cultures.
