Are you interested in getting involved in your trade union’s activities?
TAKU’s regional activities in Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Oulu, Rovaniemi, Tampere, Helsinki and Turku bring together a network of cultural professionals.
If you get involved, you will naturally also have a great opportunity to get to know art and culture professionals in your own area! Please note that most of our member events are held in Finnish.
Examples of regional events:
- After work events
- Breakfast meetings
- Lunch meetings
- Regional training
- Visits to local sites

Akava Special Branches regional activities
The Akava Special Branches’ regional groups and the regional contact people form groups of experts that serve as members’ voices in communication with the Akava Special Branches’ office when coming up with ideas for training and events, for example. There is a total of 15 groups (in Finnish), and they meet a few times a year.
