Shared Futures workshops

Welcome to reflect on and get a sense of the future. What kind of a city and world we would like to leave behind for future generations?

Workshops are free of charge and anyone over 60 is welcome to join them. At the workshops, participants explore their home town, and the related memories and feelings it evokes.

Walking, drawing, exploring, and movement and sound will lead us to a journey into our city and our wishes for its future. In this work, we will make use of familiar and unfamiliar maps and create new ones. The workshops also include familiarisation with the opportunities brought by the latest technology for perceiving and exploring the world.

Together, we will think about what our dream future would be like and what we could learn from listening to one another and our living environment carefully and with all our senses.

The workshops are guided by artists Emma Fält and Anna-Maria Väisänen.
