Tampere

The idea of the project is that people that are in danger of being marginalized acquire basic knowledge related to internet and information technology. The Internet bus visits different areas of the city.

The Tampere Municipal Library created Internet Spaces in two libraries to teach citizens basic digital skills, inspired by the Netti-Nysse project and the eTampere program.

The Tampere “Active Afternoons” program offers extracurricular activities for children aged 6 to 14, promoting their well-being, social growth and prevention of exclusion through cooperation between various sectors.

The Crowdfunding Tampere project promotes the implementation of community-led social initiatives through a participatory funding model with financial support and technical advice from the municipality.

The aim is to encourage citizens to actively engage in the “adoption” of these long-forgotten yet culturally and historically significant monuments, in order to take care of them, make them visible and, in some cases, give them a new lease of life, while at the same time recognising their value.
