The Helsinki of dreams is created together. OmaStadi.

Kaupunki järjestää kaksi OmaStadi-teemailtaa, joissa pääset ideoimaan teemaan liittyviä OmaStadi-ehdotuksia yhdessä muiden kaupunkilaisten ja kaupungin asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Ensimmäisen tilaisuuden teemana on Ilmasto ja luonto 27.9.2023. Toinen teemailta järjestetään 28.9.2023 ja silloin on teemana liikkuva, ulkoileva ja merellinen Helsinki.

The OmaStadi project has enabled robot clubs for schoolchildren, encouraging primary school-age children and young people to learn about robotics and programming. The aim of the clubs is to learn the important skills of the future by developing different types of robots. Where possible, robot clubs are organised in the afternoons for primary and secondary school children on the premises of schools in East Helsinki. The clubs are free of charge and open to pupils from your school. The content of the clubs is adapted according to the age of the participants and the equipment available.

OmaStadi is Helsinki's way of implementing participatory budgeting, where Helsinki spends 8.8 million euros to implement the suggestions of city residents. In this round, we are looking for OmaStadi volunteers. Volunteers would share information about OmaStadi and encourage residents to submit proposals and participate in voting. Any Helsinki resident who is interested in developing Helsinki together with other residents can act as an OmaStadi volunteer.

How can I participate in the City of Helsinki’s OmaStadi participatory budgeting process? What kinds of proposals to improve the city can be submitted? These kinds of questions and more will be answered at the OmaStadi 2023–2024 kick-off on Thursday, 24 August at 16.30–18.
