Simple Acts are everyday actions we can all do to stand with refugees and make new connections in our communities.

Celebrating 80 Years of the Moomins: The Door is Always Open

Since their debut, the Moomin books have inspired generations worldwide with their timeless messages of inclusivity, kindness, and belonging. Under the theme “The Door is Always Open”—a reference to the Moominhouse, which offers shelter, comfort, and security to all—Moomin 80 invites both new and returning fans to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the first Moomin story, The Moomins and the Great Flood, originally published in 1945 by acclaimed Finnish artist, illustrator, and writer Tove Jansson.

Whether you build your own event or activity around a Simple Act or simply take part during Refugee Week, you’ll be part of a movement of people everywhere taking small steps to create a big change.

We are delighted to have collaborated with Moomin 80 to illustrate this year’s Simple Acts designs.
