Tips for the ‘Lähiöfest2017’
See our tips for the Lähiöfest2017 25.9.–1.10. ‘Lähiöfest2017’ – festival of neighbourhoods – is a new event and platform for discussion of the future of cities.
‘Lähiöfest2017’ will take place in the last week of September – 25/9–1/10 – in ten different suburbs and neighbourhoods in Helsinki, Finland.
‘People-Driven City’ -seminaari
The seminar presents different intiatives that represent both grassroots work and more traditional structures. We look how and where ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ initiatives can meet. What creates value and identity in a place? What kind of new catalyst roles could the civil servants and research institutes such as universities and larger entreprises take? How does social entrepreneurship work in neighbourhoods? What can we learn from other cities and each others’ experiences?
