Lähirähinä
Programme / initiative · Oulu, Finland
Since 2016, Lähirähinä has developed and tested neighbourhood-based activity models combining community sports, mobility management and year-round use of local facilities. Its work includes research on reducing car journeys to children's hobbies, grassroots activities across Oulu neighbourhoods and new formats such as neighbourhood sports leagues. Lähirähinä also develops and pilots innovative services, including Tarinajahti, a digital place-based storytelling concept encouraging people to explore their local surroundings through shared stories and cultural heritage.
