By responding to the survey, young people can propose how Veturitallit’s activity budget will be used in 2026. Proposals may concern, for example:

  • a new hobby or activity group
  • the acquisition of equipment that enables new kinds of activities
  • another development idea that is not currently available at Veturitallit

The maximum cost of a single idea is €500, and the idea must be feasible to implement during 2026. The idea submission survey is open until 15 March 2026, and voting is open until 10 April 2026. The ideas receiving the most votes will be implemented during 2026.

The survey is available online via a Microsoft Forms form.
