Culture Comes Together for Joint Cleaning Day – May 12, 2025

Arktikum and Korundi, together with their neighbors Science Centre Pilke and Monde, are joining forces for a shared Cleaning Day on Monday, May 12, 2025. In the spirit of spring cleaning, the cultural actors will gather to collect litter around the cultural sites, highlighting the importance of responsibility and environmental friendliness.

"Working together is the key not only to cleaner premises and surroundings but also to a more responsible future. Alongside culture, the environment plays a significant role in people’s well-being. We started this joint Cleaning Day last year, and it’s great that this time even more members of the cultural community are participating," says Hannele Koskiniemi, CEO of Arktikum Service Co.

The Cleaning Day is part of the environmental efforts aligned with Arktikum’s and Korundi’s EcoCompass certification, aiming to enhance sustainable development actions and community spirit.
