DNA's and SOS Children's Village's popular fairy tale series continues
The new fairy tales can be read and listened to, they work just as well as bedtime stories and as car-ride entertainment. For their content, they nurture the child's capacity for wonder and creative solutions. The fairy tales also provide a discussion base for dealing with exciting situations in a child's life.
The main characters of the fairy tales are still the adventurous six-year-old Nelli and the magical Green Fox, who stumble upon various situations and discuss their observations openly.
Fairy tales are always relevant, and especially now in summer, when many people have more free time and more opportunities than usual to spend unhurried time together.
“For a child, a moment reading fairy tales together with the close adult gives a message that the adult is there for him. It is great, if the child and the adult will have a moment of shared thinking, joy or wondering. However, it is enough and just as important to just enjoy the fairy tale world together," states Johanna Virtanen, Manager of preventive digital support at SOS Children’s Village.
The first of the new fairy tales, ‘Summer of Nelli and the Green Fox’, has been published today, 23 June 2022. The next fairy tale, ‘Magic of the ordinary day’, about the start of school, will be published on 4 August 2022.
A child has the right to be carefree even in a frightening world
Both new fairy tales take place in ordinary everyday life. In the first fairy tale, Nelli and the Green Fox spend a warm day at the beach. In the next fairy tale, Nelli starts school. A lot of exciting and special happens, but the tune is joyful and active.
“There are a lot of frightening things in the world around us now, which can be seen for example as an explosion in the number of distressed contacts from children and adolescents in the Apuu chat of SOS Children's Village. We adults have an important role to play in protecting children's access to joy and a sense of security. In these fairy tales, we want to offer carefree family moments,” stresses Vilhelmiina Wahlbeck, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications and Sustainability at DNA.
The new fairy tales were written by children's author Nora Surojegin. She was also the author of the modernised versions of the previous Satuillaan fairy tales.
Audio and text versions of the latest and previous fairy tales can be found on the DNA website (In Finnish only): www.dna.fi/satuillaan

Suomalaisvanhempien huoli lastensa puhelimen käytöstä on nyt korkeampi kuin kertaakaan tällä vuosikymmenellä, kertoo DNA:n yli tuhannen vastaajan Koululaistutkimus 2024. Huolenaiheista yleisimpiä ovat digilaitesisältöjen koukuttavuus, niin sanottu grooming-ilmiö sekä erilaiset tietoturvauhat.

DNA:n käyttämä 5G-verkko yltää nyt Etelä-Karjalassa liki joka kolkkaan11.4.2024 09:55:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA:n käyttämän 5G-verkon rakennustyöt Etelä-Karjalassa ovat saavuttaneet pisteen, jossa 5G-verkon peitto yltää maakunnassa liki kaikkialle ja asukkaiden tavoittavuus lähestyy 100 prosentin tasoa heidän asuinpaikkojensa perusteella. Koko maan tasolla kuuluvuudessa on kuitenkin yhä alueellista vaihtelua, minkä vuoksi verkkoa parannetaan jatkuvasti. Tavoite on erityisesti maantieteellisen peiton vahvistaminen ja kasvattaminen. Laskennallisesti 5G-verkko tavoittaa noin 96 prosenttia suomalaisista koko maassa, yhteensä yli 250 paikkakunnalla. 5G-rakentamisen myötä paranevat myös 4G-yhteydet.
DNA’s 5G network now reaches almost every corner of South Karelia11.4.2024 09:55:00 EEST | Press release
DNA’s 5G network in South Karelia now reaches nearly all parts of the region, and coverage of the population is approaching 100% based on residents’ location. At the national level, however, there are still regional variations in coverage, which is why the network is constantly being improved. In particular, DNA’s goal is to reinforce and increase geographic coverage. The 5G network has a theoretical coverage of around 96% of Finland’s population in more than 250 localities. The construction of 5G infrastructure also improves 4G connections.
