Youth Gallery: Year 7 pupils as experts in the world of augmented reality and gamification
3 November to 20 December 2026
In autumn 2026, over eight hundred Year 7 pupils from six schools in Tampere took part in testing new virtual content produced by Tampere Cultural Services.
The Tampere Art Museum’s art map and the Vapriikki Civil War Museum’s ‘Safe in the Cathedral – Tampere’s Refugees 1918’ virtual worlds have been developed as part of the x-CITE project, coordinated by Tampere and funded by the EU. The aim of the project is to develop new, virtual ways for citizens to engage with culture.
As part of the Tampere's cultural education programme Art Arc (Taidekaari), Year 7 pupils took part in workshops where they tried out either the art map or the Civil War Museum’s virtual world. The pupils’ feedback and ideas for development were warmly welcomed. These will influence the further development of the content and the project’s reporting.
An exhibition at the Youth Gallery showcases ideas from pupils at Sammon School on incorporating augmented reality and gamification into the Tampere Art Map.
The exhibition is open during Laikku’s opening hours.
Free entry, welcome!
