Pupils from Rykmentinpuisto School will ask questions from children and young people in Tuusula about municipal governance and other topics of concern during the mayor's question time on Wednesday 19 November from 9.15 to 10.15 a.m. The event is part of Tuusula Children's Rights Week. Those interested can follow the question time via livestream.

Children's Rights Week will be celebrated this autumn from 17 to 23 November. The theme of the week, 'Children have the right to be heard', reminds us of the right of children and young people to belong to a community and to be seen and heard. The theme will be highlighted throughout the week in daycare centres, schools and leisure activities. Let's give children and young people a voice!

The Tuusulankulttuurikasvatus.fi website has been revamped.

Tuusula will survey residents and businesses starting on 3 November. The responses will provide valuable information for the development of the municipality.

The free performances include theatre, dance, music, magic and even opera for children. The 23 performances during the week will reach a total of 1,700 children. Most of the week's performances are sold out, but there are still some seats available for a few performances.

We are looking for the most child-friendly act in Tuusula for the second time. We are looking for an individual who has taken the rights of children and young people to be heard into particular consideration. Being heard has two meanings – both belonging to a community and being listened to. Nominate an act and its creator by 7 November 2025!

Emotional and interpersonal skills are among the most important skills for educators. Tuusula's expertise in emotional skills has been exported abroad. Recognising their own emotions gives children and young people the tools to deal with even difficult issues safely with the support of adults.

Schools in Tuusula will be closed for autumn break from 13 to 19 October. Both primary and secondary school pupils will be enjoying a well-deserved break, not to mention their younger siblings. Check out our tips for the holiday week!
