Meeting with Jenni Lahtonen: creativity is needed everywhere

In 2012, a group of professionals from arts, culture and well-being decided to live their dream. It happened in Nokia, on Tehdassaari, an island situated 10min from the city. They found a factory of more than 2000m2 and started to renovate everything by themselves, with recycling material, everybody volunteering and being autonomous as much as possible. The strength of this project is clearly the strength of the shared dream and the participant’s energy. All together they created Tehdas 108, a very unique cultural space: "The replicable 108 operating model is a locally emergent toolkit for social innovation, sustainable well-being and functional communities."

Today, Tehdas is starting a new journey which comes with new challenges. They need your support to take the next step so please contribute here

Be inspired by the persistence and courage of this group of artists and let Jenni inspire you for your journey with her great energy!

More about Tehdas 108.

This conversation is sponsored by Pirkaanmaa Liito. During several months, a group of change agents from Tampere and Pirkanmaa met on a regular basis to share their vision and suggestions to make the region more sustainable. These events are part of Ecological transition in Pirkanmaa-project.
