Marttinen promotes equality every day of the year

Marttinen promotes equality every day of the year

At the beginning of June, Tampere once again celebrates diversity and equality during the events of Manse Pride Week. Pride Week serves as a reminder that human rights and equality belong to everyone — not just on festive days, but in everyday life, every day.

At the same time, many organisations are reflecting on what equality means in their own operations. This is also the case at Youth Centre Marttinen, which is one of the youth centres awarded the Council of Europe Quality Label for Youth Centres. This label commits the centre to promoting the core values of the Council of Europe: human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

Equality is not just about speeches — it is about actions that are visible in everyday life. Read more!

Two volunteers, from Germany are staying in Finland, in the Youth Centre Marttinen. They are talking about the volunteering life and also have a few interviews with workers from Marttinen or other guests. That means you will hear a lot of different stuff about the youth centre and other things that happened here. You can also follow our Instagram account @marttinen_international.
