On 29 April, Espoo NGO Day will gather organisations and their partners at the Lippulaiva Library for an inspiring programme, filled with learning and idea-sharing.

The theme of this year’s NGO Day is Strength Through Collaboration. The day offers a unique opportunity to network and get inspired with other organisations, city employees and partners.

The programme includes engaging speeches, encounters and discussions, as well as plenty of opportunities to build cooperation partnerships and discover new perspectives.

Throughout the day, you will have the chance to exchange ideas, share experiences and strengthen cooperation between organisations.

The day will culminate in the announcement of Espoo’s NGO Achievement of the Year.

📌 Why participate?

✔️ Gain new ideas and perspectives for collaboration and organisational activities

✔️ Meet other operators and build valuable connections

The event is free of charge.

Registration will open closer to the date, and the link will be added to this page. The day’s programme will also be updated here – so stay tuned!
