Cultural encounters at the library
Cultural encounters are meeting forums open to everyone, organised in our municipality's libraries.

At cultural meetings, you will have the opportunity to meet cultural and library service employees. The meetings are a place to exchange information, get to know each other and brainstorm ideas. The idea behind the meetings is to provide a place to share enthusiasm, volunteer work, energy and local pride. Together we are more – there is strength in cooperation!
Cultural encounters replace the Cultural Cafés that were organised in Tuusula for several years. Cultural encounters are designed so that there is always something of interest to creative professionals, such as information about grants or upcoming events. You are warmly welcome!
