Men in Tampere to have an event all their own

23.04.2012 09:04

A celebration of masculinity is the name of the game in the Puisto-Emmaus hall in Hämeenpuisto on Saturday, 28 April 2012, 12:00-15:00, at the first-ever "Tampere for men" event. The focus of the event is finding action-oriented answers to the following question: what would move a man?

During the afternoon, men will have the opportunity to try out various activities such as a climbing wall, various sports and grilling sausages on an open fire. The event will feature tens of Tampere-based clubs and organisations and the activities they offer for men. Among other things, participants will find out about the best fishing spots in the Tampere region and receive information on father-child activities arranged by various organisations. The event stage will feature performances by a male choir, stand-up comedy for men and a humorous perspective on masculinity by Snorkkeli improvisational theatre. Chinese, Persian, Somali and Russian language interpreters will be on hand for immigrant participants.

The event is a continuation of the Female Tampere event organised in March, which drew an audience of 350 women to Tampere City Library Metso. Tampere for Men is organised by City of Tampere Cultural Services in partnership with Miesten Mattila, YMCA, Pioni ry, the Tampere branch of the National Family Association Promoting Mental Health in Finland and the Finnish Refugee Council.

The event programme is available on the Tampere for Men website.
