Tuusula's Child-Friendly Municipality network expands
Increasing child-friendliness in Tuusula is a joint effort by many actors. Local associations and clubs play an important role in the work to make the municipality child-friendly. At a discussion event held in January, participants talked about their work with children, young people and families and considered new opportunities for cooperation.
Instead of one, two projects were selected as the most child-friendly in Tuusula – a jury of children and young people voted for a gaming company and a volunteer organisation to receive the award.
The results of the first Child-Friendly Act competition held in Tuusula were decided by children and young people. The winners of the 2024 Child-Friendly Act competition were two organisations: gaming company XROC Gaming Oy and Polina Krapitzeva, who does volunteer work with young people.
