The project is funded by the European Union Erasmus+ Sport programme and coordinated by the City of Jyväskylä. The activities were started in January 2021.

Aim of the project

The basis for the project is the need to increase workshops and possibilities for rehabilitation for young people. The aim is to prevent increasing problems, to provide strong support in transitional phases and to increase alternative waysto study and find a place in the society.

Jyväskylä implements many projects to develop the city and the region. External funding is often sought for projects, for example, from ministries or as an EU-funding. The aim of the projects is to strengthen the vitality of Jyväskylä and develop the services for the city residents. Jyväskylä's expertise has been exported to the world often through EU projects.

Research

Research facilitation is one of a museum’s principle services. The Jyväskylä Art Museum focuses on research related specifically to Central Finnish artists or to Central Finnish visual art in general. The museum acts as an information source, a communicator and promoter of research material for the public through exhibitions, books, internet publications, lectures as well as through guided tours and other public relations activities.
