Cultural events for schools and kindergartens at one address

More than 200 operators in the field of art and culture use Kultus to post information on their events, workshops and various community projects for comprehensive schools, day care centres and upper secondary schools. Kultus also provides information on seminars, training sessions and briefings for teachers.

The content in Kultus is designed to be a part of the everyday operations of early childhood education and care as well as educational institutions. You can search for content suitable for teaching and art-based learning environments based on the age group, phenomenon, broad-based competence or subject, for example. You can find support for learning mathematics at a concert, language learning can get a boost from a theatrical performance, and an art exhibition may give insights into biology! We welcome you to learn more about what Kultus offers via the newsletter (in Finnish)

Helsinki cultural education forum

A large proportion of Finnish artists operate in Helsinki and the Helsinki Metropolitan Area; the range of operators in the fields of arts and culture is also diverse and extensive. The artistic and cultural operators in Helsinki offer groups of children an opportunity to experience different kinds of places, content and methods of art and culture. This provides an amazing framework for experiencing art and culture in different ways.

It is important to make it possible for children and young people, too, to have art and cultural experiences. The best way to reach this target group is through schools and early childhood education and care.

The City of Helsinki Culture and Leisure Division organises a cultural education forum twice a year together with the Education Division. It promotes meetings and dialogue between educators and operators in the fields of arts and culture, which makes it a joint learning and development event.

The themes of the meetings focus on current issues in cultural education. Talks by actors in the cultural field are heard in the forums, expert knowledge is studied carefully, and the participants network and work together.
