Cultural Sponsors for The Elderly are volunteers who visit the nursing homes and assisted living units in the Oulu area. They bring cultural experiences such as music and dance performances, storytelling sessions, or art exhibitions for the residents’ enjoyment.
Cultural Sponsor services in Oulu were established in 2015. Services bring cultural well-being to the residents and their relatives, as well as the staff of nursing homes and assisted living units.
Cultural Sponsors also get to attend organized meetings, where they recieve information and training in applied arts, being a volunteer, and about collaboration opportunities. In addition the sponsors get the benefit of free concert and theatre tickets in Oulu.
Cultural Sponsors for elderly people have their own Facebook group – you are welcome to join (Facebook group operates mainly in Finnish)!
