Oulu is the European Capital of Culture in 2026. In 2026 all eyes will turn to the North when Oulu and its 39 partner municipalities from Northern Finland will be filled with culture, art, and the power of community spirit. The cultural program is made together with local and European partners so that it can be seen and heard throughout Europe. The European Capital of Culture is the most important culture-related initiative of the European Union. And Ecocnews is the first and only newspaper to report on this competition on a European level and specifically.
The first monitoring reports for Oulu 2026 with the respective recommendations of the evaluation panel have been published on the European Commission website.
Below are the recommendations for Oulu.
