Which additional experience/skills can people of Placemaking Europe reach out personally to you for?
Cross-sectoral collaboration, new models for funding, media and communication, Nordic cities
I run together with my Dutch partner Ramon Maronier a Helsinki-based office of city making called Urban Practice. We produce among others Nordic CityMaking Week, Lähiöfest (festival of neighbourhoods in Finland) and Kaupunkioppi – City Learning, a program where schools learn about cities and cities learn from schools. We develop models for cross-sectoral collaboration to accompany urban change.
I am interested in placemaking as a tool for social infrastructure and passionate about exploring how to make our cities more inclusive.

Finland
Lähiöfest – festival of neighbourhoods has been for us the project that has taught us the most: how to fund, organise, create program and, especially, how to inspire different communities to join. It has been organised bi-annually since 2015 in four different cities in Finland. This year we are developing Lähiöfest into an incubator that we hope can enable local communities to find new partners for their own initiatives.
Pictured is one project, a pop up restaurant from Lähiöfest2017 in Helsinki. The restaurant was created through cross-sectoral collaboration, and it raised in one day more than 10000€ for youth.
