Developing a model for cultural work in residential areas

The "Developing a model for cultural activities in residential areas" project aims to develop cultural activities that take into account the needs and specificities of residential areas. The aim of the work, which is part of the urban development and well-being development programme, is to strengthen the well-being and territorial equity of urban residents. The project started in September 2024 and will end in May 2026.

We are collecting ideas and wishes from Tampere residents at the Residents' Evenings and through enquiries. This will ensure that the new model meets the needs of the citizens and reinforces the distinctiveness of the neighbourhoods.

Take part and tell us about your experience. How do you participate in culture in Tampere?
