Eloon! tour: Year-round collaboration in Rauma

Rauma flourishes especially in the summer, when it is vitalised by art and cultural offerings. But how can Rauma’s year-round vitality be increased through collaboration between different actors? How can collaboration between the creative fields and business life be further strengthened?

The Eloon! tour arrives in Rauma in October to discuss the theme “Year-round collaboration in Rauma”.

The event is organised in two parts. On Monday 28 October from 10am to 11am, an orientation webinar will be held on Teams.

On Tuesday 29 October from 9am to 1pm, a workshop will be held at Rauma City Hall to brainstorm collaboration solutions that would enhance the year-round appeal of Rauma.
