Culture programme for City of Porvoo

MDI supported the preparation of the cultural programme together with MDI’s partner Krista Petäjäjärvi. The process was carried out in a completely bilingual fashion. As part of the programme process, information cards describing the current state of Porvoo’s cultural activities were prepared, utilising the visual look created for the project.

The knowledge base of the process was supported by interviews with key actors in art and culture and a comprehensive survey (n = 361) to local residents. The programme process utilised hybrid workshops based on art-based methods, which were attended by residents interested in development, art and culture professionals, other actors in the creative industries, entrepreneurs, city staff and decision-makers.
