To understand a city, it is necessary to understand its inhabitants. And to understand the inhabitants, it is necessary to listen to them, to collect their stories, their memories, but also their attitudes and aspirations. All this serves to better interpret the present, but also to better understand the effects that a European Capital of Culture can have on their citizens, their habits, their ambitions.
Culture is everywhere in life – and now you can share your creativity with everyone! The European Capital of Culture year will be part of day-to-day life as well as celebrations. You can now propose your programme for inclusion in the official Oulu2026 cultural programme and apply for a targeted grant to realise your project within the Oulu2026 region.
