Tampere Residents' Evenings are events for everyone in Tampere. During the evenings, participants can enjoy themselves, make a difference and network. The events take place several times a year in different parts of the city.
– The most important thing about Tampere Residents' Evenings is the opportunity for inhabitants to be heard and have their say on current issues in the city, says Regional Coordinator Jarno Koskinen.
The evenings often include music or other cultural activities. Associations, projects and other similar bodies active in the neighbourhoods can come to the regional evenings to present their activities.
– This autumn, there have already been four evenings for Tampere residents, which have been very popular. At best, up to 300 people have attended, says Regional Coordinator Koskinen.
The Tampere Residents' Evenings will continue in December, with two more events open to all.
On Monday 2.12.2024 at 17.30–19, there will be an evening for Tampere residents at Lielahti school, where you can meet and discuss with the city's leaders. You can follow the event on the spot or live on the Tampereen kanava (Tampere Channel).
The Lielahti evening will be attended by Ilmari Nurminen, Chair of the City Council, Mayor Kalervo Kummola and Deputy Mayors Matti Helimo and Jouni Markkanen.
Participants can ask them questions and make comments on current issues in the city. The event will be in Finnish but questions can also be asked in English. Questions can also be sent in advance via an electronic form: Questions for the Tampere Residents' Evening 2.12.2024.
On Monday 9.12.2024 there will be an evening for English-speaking Tampere residents at G Livelab from 17–19. The event is open to everyone, but international residents of the city are especially welcome.
During the evening, participants will be able to explore and take a stand on a wide range of city activities. Among others, the Welfare Development Programme, the AI4Citizens project, the Carbon Neutral Actions Development Programme, the Tampere Welcoming City Programme and International House Tampere will be presented.
