Do I make new friends at Taide\Folio?

It is possible! The Internet brings people together and Taide\Folio is a good site to find like minded people and people who share the same interests. People who meet on the internet may end up friends when people respect each other and each other’s limits.

In case you decide to meet in real life someone you’ve got to know in the internet, remember to:

  • tell about a meeting to a reliable friend or adult
  • meet at a public place
  • get to know each other properly online before meeting

Here are some useful links on the subject (in Finnish):
