Proposal
This proposal suggests an interactive way of learning about Finnish history, culture and art. Modern technologies allow us to learn new things 'on-the-go' on the screens of our devices, for example, via QR codes. The information stored in QR codes can be 'read' by smartphones.
We propose developing a mobile app through which Helsinki residents and guests will be introduced to a diverse selection of cultural content about Finland. Sightseeing attractions in central Helsinki will have QR codes that people will be able to scan with their smartphones and, thus, get access to information about Finnish music, books, historical events, photography, visual arts etc. Special cultural routes (musical, literary, historic etc.) can be designed through collaborations with various cultural institutions (Musiikkitalo, museums, art galleries, etc.).
Within the framework of this OmaStadi proposal, focus will be on royalty-free content (with the possibility to use copyrighted materials in the future if this project proves to be successful and receives additional funding).
Budgeting (discussed with the City expert):
-Mobile app development
-Hiring a producer (to develop the program/manuscript)
-Hiring a software developer (to create the app with QR codes)

AND: Could You clarify content a little more, please. Another case is copyrights. In every work of art (music, visual arts etc.) must pay copyright royalties. (Exceptions exists… for example if artist/composer had died more than 70 years ago, the heirs are out of copyright’s after that.). When these QR codes are in the most visited tourist spots in the central Helsinki, contracts with Teosto and Gramex verify separately, anyhow probably most of the costs will comprised of copyright payments. And because of the nature of the OmaStadi (project money only for the limited time of the project), when application / copyrights are not financed by OmaStadi, it will be out of order after that.
The usage of protected content, such as music or artwork, will probably necessitate paying fees to the owners of the copyrights in the case of the Helsinki QR codes initiative basketbros
