The birthday celebration is part of the “Culture Buffet” event series and the pilot projects of the Inclusive Centres of Culture (Interreg Aurora) initiative.

Since 2024, Culture House Korundi has been participating in the cross-border Inclusive Centres of Culture (Interreg Aurora) project, which aims to develop cultural centers in northern Finland and Sweden to be even more open and to serve increasingly diverse audiences. Throughout 2026, Korundi has been developing ways to lower the barriers to entry at the cultural center, based on information gathering, service design workshops, and various methods of audience engagement.
