On 2 October 2021, our group was invited to talk about our research and the course of Urban Activism. The event was organized by Eläköön Eteläpuisto ry, a group of wonderful active people mobilizing to stop the destruction of the urban park Eteläpuisto in the city of Tampere. 

The event gathered different activists fighting for all sorts of purposes: from the conservation and preservation of natural environments to the protection of historical buildings around Tampere and beyond. It was very exciting to meet all of these agents of change and to learn about the causes they are mobilizing for.

We thank Eeva Leino for the kind invitation and Eläköön Eteläpuisto ry for the organization of this event. If you would like to learn more about it, information is available here.
