On 1 June, we have an entertaining evening programme that is open to everyone – a walking tour in the Kalasatama-Teurastamo area (in Helsinki) to get familiar with practical, everyday life solutions to circular economy!
The Helsinki-Uusimaa Region’s Circular Valley is also participating in the official Forum expo.
