Helsinki’s cultural centres will host a variety of programme for music and theatre lovers. Performances will also take place during daytime and online. Sports and cultural services for the elderly are listed in our printed brochure, which is widely available throughout Helsinki.
“We hope that our services will help the elderly find meaningful activities and pleasant company. We offer a variety of activities that are either free of charge or affordable. If you find it difficult to get started, we can help you through our Liikuntaluuri and Culture Companion services. The Lämpiö platform allows viewers to participate in interactive programme online so that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy and share cultural experiences,” says Essi Eranka, Head of Marketing and Communications at the Culture and Leisure Division.
