TASSU prizet 2026
In 2026, we wanted to highlight concrete actions that make the world more equal and inclusive for children and young people.
A warm thank you to everyone who applied for the TASSU prizet and helped highlight the great work being done! We received a total of 11 excellent and diverse applications by the deadline. Five applications highlighted good work carried out outside the City of Espoo, while six showcased meaningful actions within the City’s own activities.
We are delighted that the TASSU prizet has once again brought visibility to the many different ways of promoting equality and non-discrimination. Thank you to every applicant for highlighting important work and meaningful actions.
The City of Espoo Equality Committee will evaluate the applications and select the winners in both categories at its meeting on 1 December 2026. The winners will be announced on Human Rights Day, 10 December 2026.
