The Partnership Market is an open event for all Helsinki-based associations, organisations, clubs and foundations that will be held at the City Hall Event Square on 1 October at 16:30–19:00. The event is now being organised for the fourth time.

At the Partnership Market, we will hear a greeting from the new chair of the Advisory Board for Organisations, Sini Toivonen, and the latest information on cooperation between the City and organisations, volunteering and welfare promotion.

In addition to this, you will have the opportunity to explore topical matters of your choice regarding the development of cooperation with organisations. We will be discussing volunteering activities, the forthcoming term of the Advisory Board for Organisations, guiding city residents to services offered by organisations that promote health and welfare and cooperation with organisations from the perspective of equality and non-discrimination.

The Partnership Market will also feature an ‘Ask about City grants’ information desk, where you can ask about and discuss the various grants available from the City of Helsinki.

The Partnership Market is also an excellent opportunity to network with organisations and City staff involved in cooperation with organisations.

Registration for the event is open until 23 September. 

You can register here (in Finnish)(External link) (Link leads to external service)  

We hope to see you there!
