News - Children and young people

Tuusula Municipality and the City of Järvenpää are strengthening their cooperation in supporting the education of children and young people in care. The collaboration, which is set to begin in autumn 2026, will adopt the SISUKAS operating model developed by Pesäpuu ry.

The Leisure Fair will be held at Riihikallio School on Tuesday 25 August from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. During the evening, you’ll have the chance to find out about the wide range of leisure activities available in the local area and to play the popular game ‘Everyone Burns Everyone’. The event is free of charge.  

In Tuusula, the new school year begins on Thursday 13 August 2026 at primary and secondary schools. The Tuusula School of Visual Arts and the Adult Education Centre will also start their term during August.

Practising the route in advance and agreeing on how to use a mobile phone help children and young people starting their journey to school to get there safely.

There are a large number of events taking place in various community centres across Tuusula, featuring music, dance, circus, visual arts and workshops, amongst other things. With over thirty events taking place during Tuusula’s Night of the Arts, there is something to suit everyone’s interests. Most of the events are free of charge.

The Youth Services’ family days – which evoke a sense of nostalgia and bring generations together – are returning on 20–22 July to Jokela, Kellokoski and Riihikallio.

This autumn will offer both familiar and new opportunities for extracurricular activities to complement the school day. You can also find out more about the range of activities on offer at Tuusula’s third extracurricular activities fair on 25 August at Riihikallio School.

The Tuusula-wide Leisure Fair will be held at Riihikallio School on 25 August 2026 from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. Sign up to be a exhibitor by 9 August 2026!

The use of the outdoor areas will have to be restricted, as early years education in South Tuusula is concentrated at the Tuusulanjärvi nursery during the summer and the building’s outdoor area is required for these activities.

Over the spring, Tuusula has taken many significant steps towards becoming an even more child-friendly municipality. The voices of children and young people have been heard more clearly, particularly in discussions about leisure and recreational opportunities and in participatory budgeting.
