OULU 2026_THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE

In this project we focused on these important questions “How to create and bring culture, wellbeing and vitality to the region?”MAIN TOPIC //”How to create an atmosphere that makes young people appreciate their home area to stay or return?” - WILD CITY // “How to create life-changing experiences which inspire people to travel or move to Oulu?” - COOL CONTRAST // “How to make the nordic phenomena more visible and strengthen local identities?” - BRAVE HINTERLAND ... The answears are - We should create new spaces and better use of old spaces for cultural growth. // We should create WOW architecture effect. // We should create four seasonal city. // We should create better use of parks and empty spaces to fit the current future cultural climate change. We put all these thoughts to the one sentence - THE PATH FOR CITIZENS BY STRONGER CONNECTION - which clearly explains our ideas in this project.
