SAVON-RADAN actions

2014

On 1 October 2014, the Savo railway celebrates its 125 years anniversary and the SAVON RADAN ryhmä is planning a program in which several stations will participate. The celebration will be used to present the various plans and to involve the population into the further development of cultural diversity along the track.
It is our plan to invite local people to the different participating stations by offering interesting activities, workshops, exhibitions, art and design, music, flee markets, food, lectures, and discussions. We are planning a program during spring, summer and autumn to be able to involve different target groups.

Preparing the program and activities during spring, summer and autumn. These will take place on different locations.
