Aunelan Kammari to be the name of the new community centre
The new drop-in centre, which takes place on Tuesdays, is called Aunelan Kammari. The name was chosen last week by a vote among visitors. Suggestions for the name were collected both via an online survey and in person during the first two weeks.
Aunelan Kammari is a low-threshold, living-room-style space open to everyone, where people of all ages and backgrounds can meet over a cup of coffee and enjoy a relaxed get-together. Aunelan Kammari is open on Tuesdays from 1 pm to 4 pm at the Aunela community centre, located at Jääkärinpolku 1, Tuusula.
Visitors shape the Kammari programme – this week we’re enjoying a short film
The programme is organised by the visitors themselves and takes shape according to the participants’ own interests and wishes. Clubs and community groups can also organise events at Kammari. The local council provides the venue and coffee.
On Tuesday 14 April at 2 pm, Mauri and Sirkku Kalima will screen the short film *Tuusula – A Community on a Human Scale*. The film runs for 18 minutes. Immediately following the Finnish-language screening, at around 2.20 pm, there will be an English-language screening of the film.
– During the first few sessions at Kammar, we have got to know each other, done crafts and played games. Visitors have read their own stories and recited poems. This week we’ll be watching a film, and on 21 April there’ll be information on foot care and some light foot exercises, says community
manager Katja Repo about the programme planned by the visitors.People have really taken to Kammari during these first few weeks. It’s easy to pop in here on your own or with a friend for a coffee or just to say hello to familiar faces. Kammari welcomes visitors of all ages, and people from different cultures are also warmly welcomed to Kammari, which is open to everyone.
Kammari’s special programme is updated on the municipality’s online events calendar as visitors come up with ideas and organise new activities.
