Sustainability in Laikku

Kulttuuritalo Laikku is part of the Tampere Public Cultural Services, whose activities are guided by the Tampere City Strategy. In accordance with the strategy, we take responsibility for well-being and the environment by acting in an ecologically, socially, culturally and economically sustainable manner. We promote equality and safety through our activities. Read below to find out what concrete steps we are taking to promote these goals.
