The goal of Hippalot is to strengthen the interaction between children and adults through art, culture, and diverse social encounters. The accessibility coordinator of the Cultural Center ARX has created an accessibility plan for Hippalot, which will be gradually implemented in the coming years. Tickets are donated to families with children annually through a changing partner. The longest-standing partnership has been with Hope Hämeenlinna.
Responsibility is an important part of Hippalot’s mission, and the staff are committed to it. The festival continues its ongoing work to obtain the Ekokompassi certification. The environmental responsibility of the festival is managed by the producer Riikka-Leena Puistola.
Hippalot has long been using as much recycled material as possible in workshops, renewing old decorations, minimizing waste production, and offering visitors the opportunity to recycle all their waste. Visitors are encouraged to refill their own water bottles at water stations instead of drinking from disposable cups or purchased bottled water.
