The Cultural Disability Work Network

The Cultural Disability Work Network (Kulttuurisen kehitysvammatyön verkosto, KulKe in short) promotes the realisation of the cultural rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Pirkanmaa. The network's mission is to increase the importance of culture in work with people with intellectual disabilities and to make cultural work with people with intellectual disabilities visible.

The KulKe network serves as a platform for discussion, information flow, cooperation and networking across organisational boundaries. The members of the network work together to develop and implement the network's activities.

The network is open to all actors in Pirkanmaa who want to be involved in the development of cultural disability work.
