Grassroots circular economy groups are participatory action initiatives at the community level. These groups emphasize learning, skills-sharing, and developing grassroots solutions to sustainability challenges using circular economy principles and eco-design as key tools. Open to all interested, the groups meet bi-weekly in different locations in Vaasa and Mustasaari.

My Place in Finland is a learning journey designed for adult migrants who wish to understand the society and its people better.

Our Silent Book Club in Vaasa is part of a global reader community whose members cherish spending quality time by reading quietly in the company of new and old friends. There is no obligations or specific goals to achieve, which makes the Silent Book Club a perfect place to come as you are, to read something you are interested in, and quietly connect with other readers.
Our current activities:
Our Sustainable Lifestyle initiatives consist of participatory activities that emphasize learning, skill-sharing, and developing grassroots solutions to sustainability challenges, all while enhancing well-being and fostering connections with nature. Creating common ground is essential: we need spaces, groups, and communities where diverse individuals can connect, find a sense of belonging, and work towards building an inclusive and sustainable society.
