DNA's and SOS Children's Village's popular fairy tale series continues
23.6.2022 10:00:00 EEST | DNA Oyj | Press release
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
DNA has been a partner of SOS Children's Village since 2011. The cooperation will focus this year on supporting the Apuu chat. The Apuu chat is for all children between the ages of 7 and 15 who feel threatened or unsafe. The chat is open from 9am to 10pm every day and there is always a child protection professional present.

DNA Oyj:n huhti–kesäkuun 2026 liiketoimintakatsaus: Tasainen kehitys jatkui kireässä markkinatilanteessa16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kireään kilpailutilanteeseen nähden kuluvan vuoden toinen neljännes oli DNA:lle taloudellisesti varsin hyvä. Huhti–kesäkuussa liikevaihto pysyi liki samalla tasolla vuodentakaiseen ajanjaksoon verrattuna. Käyttökate kasvoi, erityisesti kun vertailussa huomioidaan DNA:n IoT-liiketoiminnan siirto toiseen Telenorin konserniyhtiöön kuluvan vuoden alussa. Kiinteiden laajakaistaliittymien ja matkaviestinverkon liittymien määrät kasvoivat, mutta niiden keskilaskutus hieman laski.
DNA Plc’s Business Review for April–June 2026: Steady development continued in a highly competitive market environment16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
Considering the intense competitive landscape, the second quarter of the current year was financially quite strong for DNA. During April–June, revenue remained nearly at the same level as in the corresponding period last year. EBITDA increased, particularly when taking into account the transfer of DNA’s IoT business to another Telenor Group company at the beginning of the year. The number of fixed broadband and mobile network subscriptions increased, while their average revenue per user declined slightly.
Etätyöt ja suoratoisto seuraavat myös mökille – näin korjaat takkuilevan mökkinetin14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Tiedote
Mökkikausi on monelle myös etätyö-, suoratoisto- ja yhteydenpitokautta, jolloin toimivan nettiyhteyden merkitys korostuu. DNA:n tuoreen Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 21 % suomalaisista on kohdannut haasteita nettiyhteytensä kanssa. Vaikka ongelmia esiintyy yleisimmin kodin internetyhteyksissä, myös mökeillä yhteyden hitaus tai toimimattomuus aiheuttaa päänvaivaa osalle käyttäjistä. Moni ongelmista ratkeaa kuitenkin jo yksinkertaisilla toimenpiteillä, joista helpoin on modeemin uudelleenkäynnistys.
Remote work and streaming follow people also to the summer cottage – here’s how to fix a slow cottage internet connection14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Press release
For many, the summer cottage season is also a season of remote work, streaming and staying connected with loved ones, which makes the importance of a functioning internet connection all the more pronounced. According to DNA’s latest Digital Life survey, 21% of Finns have encountered challenges with their internet connection. Although problems occur most commonly with home internet connections, slow or non-functioning connections at summer cottages also cause headaches for some users. However, many of these problems can be solved with simple measures, the easiest of which is restarting the modem.
