Solutions to rural service needs are being sought using new methods in Seinäjoki on February 20th.
Welcome to discuss the current state, challenges and development needs of associations, clubs and organizations in the region. The aim is to gather views and experiences on the current state of organizations and associations and their future possibilities.
Rural services have deteriorated, and there is a risk that they will be completely out of reach of residents. At the same time, funding cuts in the third sector are making it difficult for associations and organizations to do their important work in providing services. These actors have played a key role in providing services to rural areas. One solution could be cooperation: municipalities, associations and other local actors can join forces to secure services.
The workshop will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2025 at 6 p.m. at the Nature House in Käpälikö, Seinäjoki.
