In the editorial, 

Jukka Mäkelä takes 

a stand on issues of 

current interest in the 

City of Espoo. 

Jukka Mäkelä is the Mayor of Espoo. 

We can make 

it together 

Espoo residents have taken care of each other 

in many ways, being adaptive, flexible and 

compliant with instructions. Together, we have 

ensured that we can cope in these exceptional 

circumstances. 

Now we have to look to the future. Cities will 

play a major role in providing welfare society 

services, in investing in growth and in generating 

a new ascent after the coronavirus crisis. Cities 

need cooperation, predictability and support 

from the central government in order to weather 

this crisis. The funding base of the public sector 

has deteriorated to an unprecedented extent 

due to the coronavirus crisis. Accordingly, we are 

launching a programme titled Taloudellisesti 

kestävä Espoo [Economically sustainable 

Espoo]. Now is not the time to add to the duties 

and obligations of local government. 

The coronavirus crisis is having an impact 

particularly on cities like Espoo that finance 

their services with tax revenue. This must be 

taken into account in the support measures of 

the central government. Large cities also have 

the potential to launch revitalising projects with 

significant employment impacts. Infrastructure 

investments, for instance, promote employment, 

growth, competitiveness and carbon neutrality 

all at once. 

We need partnership and close cooperation 

now like never before. We can make it together.

A total of 2,169 applicants gave an Espoo upper secondary school as their primary choice in 

the joint application round this spring. The figure was up 8.3% from last year’s 2,001 applicants. 

The number of students admitted to Espoo-based upper secondary schools will increase 

from last year. This year, a total of 1,819 students will be admitted to Finnish-speaking upper 

secondary schools in Espoo and 134 in Kauniainen. 

Espoo Day celebrated 

virtually at end of August 

AS in previous years, summer ends with Espoo Day 

on 28–29 August. This year in this largest annual city 

event in Espoo, the focus is on small-scale events 

held by residents’ associations with free admission 

and on virtual online events. 

The events are produced by residents, associations, 

city operators and partners. Submissions for 

events to be included can be sent in up until the main 

event day, 29 August, but the deadline for events to 

be included in the Espoo Day programme leaflet is 

15 June. 

The Event and Cultural Services of the City of 

Espoo provide advice and guidance for event organisers 

at advance webinars that cover topics such as 

how to set up virtual remote events.

City Bikes up and running 

ahead of schedule 

THE City Bikes are up and running earlier than normal 

this year. As the coronavirus crisis escalated, the City 

of Helsinki, Helsinki City Transport and the City of 

Espoo decided to bring forward the date of putting 

the City Bikes in circulation. The purpose of this was 

to help curb the spreading of the coronavirus. When 

using City Bikes, please wear gloves and remember 

to practise good hand hygiene. 

City Bike docking stations and availability can be 

seen in the Reittiopas Journey Planner, where you 

can also plan routes. Some docking stations have 

been relocated because of construction sites or for 

other reasons. These changes and the new locations 

are shown at bit.ly/2VGEO6s. 

” This is the 18th 

time that we 

celebrate Espoo 

Day; it has been 

held on the last 

weekend in August 

for the past ten 

years. 

Residents involved in 

reforming espoo.fi 

THE reform of the espoo.fi website has been 

launched, and the new website will be online in 2021. 

Users were polled for their opinions about the reform 

in the spring. A total of 433 responses were received. 

The respondents asked for good search functions 

in order to find information and opening hours 

for various services easily. There were also calls 

for making information about decision-making and 

about individual city districts more readily available. 

The respondents would like to see news and event 

notices on the front page of the new espoo.fi website 

along with information on city operations. 

54% of the respondents reported visiting the 

espoo.fi website on a daily or weekly basis. All means 

of access were fairly equally used – computer, laptop, 

smartphone. Social welfare and health care is the top 

search category, followed by culture and sports. 

The majority (73%) of the respondents were 

women. The 35–44 age group was the best represented 

among the respondents, but responses were 

received from a wide range of age groups. Espoo 

residents accounted for 60% of the responses; 25% 

of the respondents were employees of the City of 

Espoo, and 3% had recently moved to Espoo. 

If you want to contribute to the website development, 

sign up for the volunteer group. By signing up, 

you will get the chance to comment on the evolving 

website at the various stages of the project. To sign

interesting sites all 

Espoo residents have 

free access to.

glacial pothole. 

A third glacial 

pothole, about 

0.5 m across,

Glacial potholes in 

Kaupunginkallio 

GLACIAL potholes are round pits that were 

excavated by stones rotating in the meltwater 

flows of the glaciers of the most recent Ice Age. 

There are several of these in Espoo. You may 

even find some close to home. 

Three of them are in Kaupunginkallio, near 

Espoon keskus. The glacial potholes in Kaupunginkallio 

are in the lower part of the rocky 

slope between Kiuastie and Kiuaskuja, about 

30 m south-west of Espoonväylä. There is a 

footpath leading from the cycle path to the site. 

The largest of these glacial potholes is 

about 1.5 m in diameter and has a depth of 2.5 

m measured along the rear wall. The smaller 

ones are shallow and about 0.5 m across.

Viherlaakso Health Centre 

relocates to Kilo 

THE building housing Viherlaakso Health Centre has reached 

the end of its service life, and because of this Viherlaakso Health 

Centre will relocate to temporary premises on Trillakatu, adjacent 

to Kilo Health Centre, after Midsummer. 

A comprehensive search of premises in Viherlaakso area 

revealed that there are no premises suitable as temporary premises 

for an entire health centre. By contrast, space is opening 

up in the Kilo Health Centre building, as the maternity and child 

health clinic and dental clinic phone services are being relocated. 

The neighbourhood route 229 will be rerouted so as to 

provide transport from Viherlaakso to Kilo Health Centre. There 

are also other frequently running buses for those who are able to 

change buses on the way. Local services will be provided in the 

premises of the Aurora maternity and child health clinic. Physicians 

will also provide remote consultation. 

The relocation of Viherlaakso Health Centre is a temporary 

measure. A long-term service network planning project is being 

launched for Suur-Leppävaara. This service network plan will 

be created in consultation with residents. A phone survey was 

conducted among residents in May, and information events for 

residents will be held online.

Adventure to 

the future 

MY2050 is an adventure game open to 

every one free of charge. It features a real 

urban environment, Espoon keskus. The 

narrative of the game is a look into the 

future, giving players information on climate 

change in a new and exciting way. 

The adventure to the future begins on 

Espoonkatu in Espoon keskus, outside the 

City Council building. The game lasts one 

hour, during which players have to score 

points by solving puzzles. The game is a 

mobile app available in the relevant application 

store for each device. 

You can go on the adventure any time 

you like, along or with friends or family 

members. The game offers a new learning 

tool suitable for students from sixth grade 

to the upper secondary level, but there are 

many things to do with plenty of challenge 

for adults as well.

Volunteers are needed 

to take care of monuments. 

Adopt a monument 

in Espoo 

ESPOO is launching an ‘Adopt a monument’ scheme. 

This is a volunteer scheme for the upkeep and maintenance 

of old buildings and archaeological sites. 

Archaeological sites suitable for adoption include 

fortifications, stone walls, cairns, remnants of quays 

and ancient settlements. Other candidates include 

minor buildings or structures such as monuments, 

bathing houses, transformer stations, bridges or 

stone road signs. 

Maintenance and upkeep may involve clearing 

vegetation, mowing, cutting coppices and collecting 

waste, according to the maintenance plan. Maintenance 

plans are drawn up jointly with the Espoo City 

Museum. The Museum also provides advice and 

guidance on further upkeep. 

Sites may be adopted by a community, an association, 

an enterprise or a public body such as a school. 

In some maintenance events, anyone can participate. 

Persons or organisations considering adoption are 

not required to have any previous experience or 

information in the maintenance of cultural sites. The 

adoption may be for a short or a long period. 

Further information is available from Curator Eetu 

Sorvali who is in charge of cultural environments 

and antiquities and of archaeological research, eetu.

The coronavirus epidemic has pushed unemployment up everywhere, and Espoo is no exception. 

As at the end of March, there were 3,750 more unemployed persons than at the same time in 

the previous year, an increase of 35%, and the unemployment rate was 2.6 percentage points 

higher. Nationwide, the increase in the number of unemployed people year on year was 30%. 

Smartbot begins multilingual 

coronavirus chat 

THE City of Espoo is testing a smartbot, or a learning artificial 

intelligence application, that answers questions in more 

than 100 languages on the espoo.fi website. This multilingual 

smartbot supplements the communications and services of 

the City of Espoo in cases where a user is unable to communicate 

in Finnish, Swedish or English. The smartbot is available 

on a 24/7 basis and is capable of serving more than 100,000 

simultaneous users. 

The smartbot collects information from the websites of the 

City of Espoo and various authorities and answers questions 

on the basis of that information. The smartbot is able to learn. 

If the information on the websites changes, the bot will notice 

it with a short delay and change its answers accordingly. 

The smartbot will also respect privacy: it always chats with 

the users anonymously. 

“A smartbot based on artificial intelligence and machine 

translation enables us to communicate instructions and latest 

updates on our services to Espoo residents who speak many 

different languages. Such rapid multilingual communications 

would not be possible without artificial intelligence. Although 

the grammar may still have room for improvement, the solution 

complements the City of Espoo’s communications in Finnish, 

Swedish and English,” says Juha Metso, Director of Social 

and Health Services. 

” The bot 

allows us to 

distribute 

information 

on services 

to the 

multilingual 

population. 

Digital access 

to culture 

ESPOO brought a digital cultural centre to homes in 

response to the culture deficit caused by the coronavirus 

epidemic. Kotona247 [Home 24/7] is an online 

service set up by Event and Cultural Services to offer 

Espoo residents culture at home in the form of live 

streaming. The programme includes concerts of Tapiola 

Sinfonietta and popular music performances. 

“Kotona247 is an online concert venue for every 

Espoo resident – and for everyone in Finland for 

that matter. When the coronavirus epidemic forced 

cultural events to be cancelled, we put our heads 

together and decided to accelerate the plans that we 

already had been working on,” says Karri Soilamo, 

Event Specialist at City Events Espoo. 

Forthcoming Kotona247 live webcasts and 

concert recordings can be found at kaupunkitapahtumat.fi. 

The programme is further augmented by the 

Urban Espoo service, which is available online at 

urbanespoo.fi and as a mobile service, similarly to the 

digital cultural centre. Urban Espoo has a virtual city 

environment which users can explore and where they 

can experience the urban and natural environments 

and learn new skills. 

Theme year encourages 

to take action for nature 

THE 2020 theme year of the Espoo Environment Department, 

Lumoudu kaupunkiluonnosta [Enchanted by Urban 

Nature], invites Espoo residents to take action to preserve 

diversity in the urban natural environment. This is done 

by publishing ‘nature actions’ each week on the Facebook 

page of the Environment Department and on the 

Instagram account of the Nature House Villa Elfvik which 

residents can then carry out at home and outdoors. 

The nature actions are compiled in the Enchanted by 

Urban Nature databank, which is at bit.ly/espoo_nature. 

The databank contains info spots on biodiversity in Espoo 

and on how the city is fostering biodiversity in its territory. 

The material includes numerous photos and audio files 

with nature soundscapes. 

The Enchanted by Urban Nature theme year 2020 

forms part of the Espoo nature conservation project, 

whose purpose is the preservation of nature values and 

biodiversity in Espoo.

The Covid-19 virus 

arrived in Finland 

around the turn of 

February–March. 

By mid-March, it had

solutions 

The coronavirus spring has restricted 

and changed everyone’s lives. But creative 

solutions have allowed people to get on with 

their lives and have meaningful experiences 

despite the self-isolation. 

By the time this magazine goes to print, comprehensive 

schools will have returned to classroom 

teaching, and libraries will have been open for 

borrowing and returning books for a couple of 

weeks. Outdoor exercise facilities have been 

open for sport and fitness from mid-May. 

At the beginning of June, libraries and culture facilities 

will reopen and return to normal. Museums will also 

re-open in early June. • 

Niina Sivonen’s 

drawings illustrating 

remote teaching have 

served as peer support 

for her teacher 

colleagues. Many have 

shared similar 

experiences. 


New meaning with instructions 

NIINA Sivonen, Deputy Headmaster at 

the Lähderannan koulu primary school, 

has described her experiences of remote 

teaching in drawings. Every day, she 

takes a positive observation and illustrates 

it as a morale booster for herself 

and her colleagues. 

“There are more such things than 

I have time to draw. The children have 

adapted really wonderfully to this new 

situation,” says Sivonen, who teaches 

sixth grade. 

In mid-March, all school teachers suddenly 

had to adjust to a new normal with 

only a few days’ notice. 

“We’re not trained to do remote 

teaching. Some teachers and pupils 

alike experienced challenges with the IT 

requirements, but we help each other as 

we can.” 

Sivonen’s class continued to study 

according to the lesson plan. She has 

high praise for stay-at-home parents who 

skilfully accommodated their children’s 

new daily routine. In most cases, the 

children actually went outdoors 

for breaks between lessons, and 

lunch was at the same time as 

at school. However, some parents still 

had to go to work during the day, and in 

some homes the computer had to be 

used in turns. 

“I always posted daily instructions on 

Wilma on the previous day, so that the 

parents would have time in the evening 

to see whether their children would need 

technical assistance with their school 

day. I’ve made many teaching videos and 

otherwise used my drawings in class. 

Some of the lessons were online meetings.” 

Writing instructions and developing 

new teaching methods means long hours 

for Sivonen, but she does not complain. 

“It’s only temporary. Children have 

learned to take responsibility and to 

manage their time, and that will certainly 

be useful as they move on to secondary 

school.” 

Comprehensive schools reopened for 

classroom teaching on 14 May. Upper 

secondary schools chose to continue 

with remote teaching until the end of the 

school year. All schools had their virtual 

end-of-school celebration today, 30 May. 

Niina Sivonen has kind 

words for the smooth 

cooperation among 

teachers, pupils and 

parents during the exceptional 

circumstances this 

spring. “We helped each 

other and shared our 

experiences.”

i SMARTBOT 

serves users in 

more than 100 languages. 

In mid-April, 

the City of Espoo 

introduced an online 

smartbot to answer foreign 

language speakers’ 

questions about 

the coronavirus. 

The bot is set up as a 

chat service. It can be 

found for instance at 

bit.ly/espoo_smartbot. 

SINCE Mother’s 

i Day, visitors 

have been 

allowed to meet 

residents of the City’s 

care homes outdoors, 

weather permitting. 

Extreme caution continues 

to be observed 

in these meetings: 

the resident and the 

visitor must remain 

at least 2 m apart, 

and visitors must 

not come to the care 

home if they have any 

symptoms of a common 

cold at all. For 

meetings with residents 

with memory 

disorders, the aim is 

to have a barrier such 

as a fence between 

the resident and the 

visitor.

• The city and various operators have come 

up with numerous creative solutions in order 

to keep services running and to provide meaningful 

experiences through the spring, restrictions 

notwithstanding. 

As services have gone increasingly digital, 

the highly varied digital skills of the elderly in 

particular have become a sticking point. 

The helpline of Nestori – Guidance and 

Service Counselling for Senior Citizens has 

had extended opening hours this spring, from 

08:00 to 16:00 every weekday. Ads about this 

service have been run in local newspapers 

continuously so that people who may not know 

how to access online services can phone in to 

get help. As a result, the helpline call volume 

has nearly doubled. 

“We have posted a coronavirus FAQ online. 

We have also accepted questions by e-mail,” 

says Maria Rysti, specialist in services for the 

elderly. 

They have also sent out letters with information, 

and they have phoned up previous 

Nestori clients to ask them how they are.

food delivery service. 

Rysti notes that food assistance is required 

not just by at-risk groups but also by disadvantaged 

people whom we normally see queuing 

up at food banks. 

The food service was launched around 

Easter in collaboration with the city authorities, 

NGOs and parishes. City employees, 

for instance from Education and Cultural 

Services, transitioned to the food service when 

their own work came to a halt. The first food 

deliveries to homes were made in early April. 

Local food banks commandeered premises 

that were empty due to the restrictions in place 

and were suitable for food storage. 

Also, students in pre-primary education, 

comprehensive school and upper secondary 

school have been offered packed lunches during 

the distance learning period. 

Help on the front line city employees have 

transitioned to other duties too. By mid-April, 

more than 100 city employees had been transferred 

to Social and Health Services. 

The city has set up a resource pool in 

response to the coronavirus crisis, the purpose 

being to safeguard sufficient resources 

for social welfare and health care services 

in these exceptional circumstances while 


The Tapiola Sinfonietta 

has been 

giving remote 

concerts for 

Espoo residents 

this spring. The 

orchestra performs 

chamber 

music in small 

groups under 

normal circumstances 

too. 

Sinfonietta in the comfort of your home 

THE album Metsänpeitto by Meriheini Luoto was 

nominated for the Teosto Prize in 2018. The Tapiola 

Sinfonietta was supposed to perform the work in an 

orchestration by Kalle Vainio at its concert on 17 April. 

The coronavirus epidemic and a last-minute illness 

forced a change in plans. 

Taavi Oramo, the orchestra’s Artist in Residence, 

quickly came up with a new programme. Consisting 

of performances by small chamber ensembles, the 

concert was streamed live online at the originally 

scheduled time. 

“It was important for many of our listeners to listen 

to the concert live and to sense that they were part 

of an event in real time,” says General Manager Anna 

Jaskiewicz. 

For Tiina Paananen, Deputy Principal 2nd Violin, 

the absence of the audience was the most exciting 

thing about the remote concert. 

“It’s wonderful to know that there are at least some 

people out there watching and listening at the same time 

that we’re playing. I try to capture that feeling when performing, 

now that we’re unable to sense the presence of 

the audience,” said Paananen before the concert. 

This spring, orchestra members have mainly been 

practising on their own and in small groups at the 

Cultural Centre. 

“I miss the orchestra community, but we play chamber 

music during the year under normal circumstances 

too, and of course everyone always practises on their 

own, so it’s not a completely new and strange situation,” 

says Paananen. 

The Tapiola Sinfonietta has made further live 

webcasts during the spring, and recordings of them

from sites that had been shut down. This also 

represents an opportunity for those employees 

to broaden their competence and professional 

skills. 

The City Board and other city bodies have been 

meeting remotely using the Teams platform 

since late March. However, City Council meetings, 

with 75 attendees, required rather more 

advanced arrangements. The plan was to hold 

the first online City Council meeting on 18 May, 

but in mid-April it was announced that it would 

not be possible to cancel the meeting scheduled 

for 27 April. In a blitz response, a Teams meeting 

was set up in less than two weeks, complete with 

a separate system for voting. While Helsinki, for 

instance, already had a system in place for online 

City Council meetings, Espoo was the first to 

implement voting like this. 

“This was a historic meeting. Not only was it 

the first online City Council meeting in Espoo, 

it was the first ever meeting in my many years 

on the job where every single regular member 

was present,” says City Council Secretary Jouni 

Majuri. 

City Council members were provided with 

rehearsal opportunities in the previous week, 

with trial runs of voting, requests to speak and 

attendance reporting. Any City Council members 

who were hesitant to use the systems or 

were doubtful about whether the online connections 

would work were allowed to attend the 

meeting in person in the City Council meeting 

room. 

“The people present were the chairman 

and myself, the Technical Secretary, three City 

Council members and two IT experts,” says 

Majuri. 

Three votes were taken in the meeting. One 

participant failed to vote through the voting 

system and had to have the vote recorded separately. 

There was also another glitch in one of 

the voting rounds, but on the whole the meeting 

was much commended. 

“I believe that we’ll continue using the 

remote meeting option even after meetings in 

person are allowed again,” says Majuri.

This was a historic meeting. 

It was the first ever City 

Council meeting where 

every single regular member 

was present. 


Supporting entrepreneurs in a tight spot 

THERE are about 15,000 enterprises in 

Espoo, two thirds of them being run by sole 

entrepreneurs. The restrictions imposed due 

to the coronavirus epidemic have severely 

affected the operations of many, even shutting 

some businesses down completely. The 

central government has granted targeted 

allowances to help sole entrepreneurs. A 

sole entrepreneur allowance of EUR 2,000 

has been available to apply for since 24 

April. 

Espoo has taken the plight of entrepreneurs 

seriously. More than 980 applications 

were received in a support application 

process coordinated by Business Espoo 

in a period of two weeks, representing a 

combined support need of about EUR 1.34 

million. 

“At present, we are able to process applications 

on the same day, and if all the attachments 

are OK and all conditions are fulfilled, 

the entrepreneur will have the money in their 

account within 4 or 5 weekdays of the application 

being filed,” says Sanna Lindholm of 

the Economic and Urban Development unit 

of the City of Espoo. 

Entrepreneurs may apply for the Espoo 

allowance if they can demonstrate that the 

coronavirus epidemic has reduced their sales 

income and receivables by at least 30%. The 

application period continues until the end 

of September. Lindholm advises potential 

applicants to consider what would be the 

best time to apply for the allowance. 

Sole entrepreneurs may also claim 

unemployment benefit if their business has 

stopped completely because of the coronavirus 

epidemic. 

Some enterprises have been able to stay 

open by modifying their business model. A 

case in point is the restaurant Base, almost a 

second home to many Leppävaara residents. 

Good food, wine and various events bring 

locals together. After 30 March, however, the 

restaurant was obliged to rethink its entire 

operating concept. 

Through the spring, Base has been selling 

takeaway lunches on weekdays and preparing 

meals for delivery to special occasions. 

“At Easter, we had so many orders for 

lamb dinners that we ended up having to 

turn people away,” says restaurateur Vuokko 

Varila-Kiverä. 

The restaurant has had to lay off its serving 

staff, but the kitchen staff still have work 

to do, at least part-time. 

The restaurant offers home deliveries of 

meals for a minimum of four people in the 

Leppävaara area. 

“People in at-risk groups and people 

working from home who have children have 

made good use of our services. We have a 

lot of regular customers who have remained 

faithful in these times. Leppävaara residents 

look out for one another,” says Varila-Kiverä 

happily. 

Vuokko Varila- 

Kiverä explains 

that Base has 

been able to 

offer many of its 

normal items on 

the lunch menu. 

The restaurant 

has also come 

up with new 

solutions based 

on customer 

requests.

Heart and soul 

of the kitchen 

Annina Artman is a food service coordinator responsible for 

feeding more than 100 children at the Painiitty daycare centre. 

” 

Under normal circumstances, I’m responsible 

for feeding about 120 children at the Painiitty 

daycare centre. My work as a food service coordinator 

includes heating up the food delivered 

from the central kitchen in Kilo, serving the food, 

preparing salads and sides, and performing supervisory 

and customer service duties. 

I have help to do the washing up a couple of times a 

week, but otherwise I work alone. Because of this, it’s 

vital that I schedule my work so that I can keep up the 

pace. But even though I work independently 

for the most part, I don’t feel alone 

thanks to the staff and kids at the daycare 

centre. 

I’m always available at mealtimes and 

ready to advise on special dietary requirements 

and to answer any questions that 

the children may have. Children are 

particularly interested in where the food 

comes from. The large machines in the 

kitchen are also fascinating to them. 

We were awarded a Makuaakkoset diploma for good 

food in March. This diploma is awarded on the basis of 

sustainable development measures, nutritional values 

and promoting a healthy diet. 

The diploma is testimony to smoothly running cooperation 

between the kitchen and the daycare centre and 

proves that the food served is appropriate and healthy. 

Both myself and the minders are present at mealtimes. 

We encourage children to try various foods and teach 

them that meals are an important part of their day.”

Car Museum opens 

again in Pakankylä 

The Espoo Car Museum continues with 

its theme ‘Skootteri on lälläripyörä’ [A 

scooter is a sissy bike]. Traditionally 

opening at Easter, this year the summer 

museum will open its doors on 2 June. 

FINLAND’S oldest car museum will open its doors to the public 

on Tuesday 2 June. The main features are the exhibition Skootteri 

on lälläripyörä [A scooter is a sissy bike] spiced up from last 

year and a new theme for this summer. 

The Espoo Car Museum houses some 100 cars and more 

than 200 two-wheeled vehicles. The exhibits also include other 

items related to road traffic. 

Founded around the Saab collection of Rafael Huhta in 

1979, the Espoo Car Museum occupies historical premises: a 

graphite block cowshed over 100 years old at Pakankylä Manor 

near Lake Bodominjärvi in northern Espoo. The farmstead is 

owned by the City of Espoo, and the Espoo Car Museum Association 

has just signed an extended lease for the premises. 

“We want to ensure a comfortable and safe museum experience 

with regard to the precautions and restrictions required 

in the current situation. We are keeping a close eye on the 

recommendations of the authorities, and we will be deciding on 

the events of the late summer and autumn at a later date,” says 

Minna Hietanen from the Espoo Car Museum. 

The Espoo Car Museum was named Vehicle Museum of the 

Year in 2019. 

The Espoo Car Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00–17:00 

(on Wednesdays 11:00–19:00) from June to August and 

on weekends 11:00–17:00 in September and October. 

The Moskvich 400 

series, nicknamed 

Piikkinokka-Mosse

Moskvich. Introduced 

in 1947, the 400 series 

and the improved 

401 series were in 

production until 1956, 

with a total of 247,439

Green 

hub for 

sustainable 

mobility 

In the near future, a pedestrian 

centre and services will be 

developed in Leppävaara. 

Indicative plan of 

what Leppävaara is 

to look like, viewed 

from the direction of 

the Ring I road. 

Leppävaara is the third busiest public transport hub in the 

Helsinki metropolitan area and also accounted for one third of 

Espoo’s population growth last year. In 2019, Espoo acquired 

more than 6,000 new residents, of which 2,000 in the Greater 

Leppävaara area. 

There are three key goals for Leppävaara: condensing the urban structure, 

improving public transport and services, and expanding the pedestrian 

zone. 

“The basis for project development is that at present this environment 

does not meet the requirements of a heavy-traffic area,” says Mika 

Rantala, Project Director of the Greater Leppävaara area. 

The Sello shopping centre is the heart of Leppävaara, and the current 

project is intended to develop its immediate vicinity. 

“The ‘Leppävaara centre’ vision involves a new business park to the 

north and the Hatsinanpuisto business park to the east of Sello. All 

these are within walking distance of each other. We are seeking to create 

a larger city centre that can generate positive urban buzz,” explains 

Rantala. 

The redeveloped city centre is also meant to be greener and more 

accessible. Car parks will be relocated underground, and the bridge spanning 

the railway is intended to house services along with an indoor terminal 

space for both bus and train passengers. 

These projects are consistent with sustainable mobility and public 

transport. Several of the planned new housing estates are located along 

the forthcoming Jokeri Light Rail, and cycling routes are being planned 

along with the expanded pedestrian zone. 

The area is being designed according to the wishes of its residents, 

who have been invited to participate actively in the development work 

through residents’ forums and other channels. 

“I’ve been meeting local residents on a monthly basis under the heading 

Tehtävä Leppävaarassa [Mission Leppävaara], and I run a public 

Facebook group where people can discuss current affairs and development 

initiatives,” Rantala says.

Services for new residents in Espoo 

ESPOO enjoys one of Finland’s highest 

rates of population growth. The 

City is catering to new residents by 

producing various info packages. 

Under the heading Information 

for residents on the city of Espoo 

website, there are sections for 

instance on housing counselling, 

allotment gardens and carpet washing 

sites. The city has also launched 

an English-language website, Hello 

Espoo, for foreign residents. The site 

is a step-by-step guide to the journey 

before, during and after moving to 

Espoo. 

The InfoFinland.fi website also 

provides a wealth of information 

about Espoo for both Finnish and 

international people relocating to 

the area and is available in Finnish, 

Swedish and English and also in nine 

other languages, including Somali 

and Chinese.

Human 

dignity is for 

everyone 

It is only natural to have 

prejudices about people 

who are different. However, 

there is a difference between 

thinking and saying things 

out loud. Sometimes prejudices 

can lead to another 

person’s fundamental rights 

being violated. 

› We are meeting Hanna Bäckström 

and Paula Åkerlund by virtual 

means because of the current exceptional 

circumstances. Because of this, 

it was easy for all of us to come to the 

meeting. That is not always the case. 

Bäckström is in a wheelchair, and 

sometimes she quite literally faces a 

high threshold for attending events. 

“In many cases, when I arrive at 

an event, it’s taken so much time and 

trouble to get there that I can’t be 

bothered with how confused people 

get when I arrive in a wheelchair,” says 

Bäckström. 

Paula Åkerlund, a Roma woman, 

can identify with the experience. She 

also often encounters open resentment 

and discriminatory behaviour. 

“It’s humiliating to walk around 

in a shop with a security guard trailing 

behind you. I can’t accept anyone 

making automatic judgments like that 

about another person.” 

Åkerlund is active in advocating for 

minorities. She used to be a member 

of the Espoo Multicultural Advisory 

Board and is now in her first term as 

minority representative on the Espoo 

Equality Committee. Bäckström, 

following in her father’s footsteps, 

represents Uudenmaan lihastautiyhdistys 

[Muscle Disease Association 

of Uusimaa] on the Espoo Disability 

Council. 

Through their respective 

municipal bodies, Paula 

Åkerlund and Hanna Bäckström 

are involved in the ‘Espoo for 

Everyone – Stop Hate Speech!’ 

campaign, the purpose of which 

is to raise awareness, to foster 

an atmosphere of tolerance 

and to encourage everyone to 

intervene in harassment and 

hate speech. 

With the honour of representation 

comes great responsibility. 

Sometimes it is not so easy to be humble, 

friendly and kind. 

“Sometimes I’d like to be able to 

be bad-tempered and rude without 

having the entire disabled community 

judged by my conduct,” says 

Bäckström. 

Åkerlund admits that she has a 

very short fuse in situations where 

she feels she is being mistreated. If 

she has had a rough day, she may lash 

out at someone more fiercely than she 

intended. 

“And then they say ‘you people are 

always like that’,” says Åkerlund. 

Everyone has prejudices. When 

Hanna Bäckström catches herself 

thinking in a prejudiced way, she 

laughs at herself. 

“Stereotypes about population 

groups are incredibly powerful. I’m a 

slave to them just as much as the next 

person. When you catch yourself having 

thoughts like that, you just have to 

grab yourself by the neck,” she says. 

Paula Åkerlund stresses that 

no one is saying you cannot have 

thoughts and opinions of your own. 

The point is in how you express them. 

“You don’t always have to take up the 

pitchforks and torches even if you don’t 

approve of a particular operating culture 

or way of thinking. Every human 

being is entitled to human dignity, no 

matter what they are like. We all have to 

respect that,” Åkerlund insists.

Espoo is a multicultural 

city with a policy of promoting 

acceptance and 

cooperation between 

population groups.

Pentala island is one of 

the 11 outdoor recreation 

islands in Espoo. The 

Pentala Archipelago 

Museum and its services 

have been open to the 

public since 2018. 

Text Mia Weckström Photo Ari Siliamaa 


Life in the archipelago requires 

many kinds of manual skills 

THE Pentala Archipelago Museum is 

located on an old fisherman’s estate on 

Pentala island in Espoonlahti Bay. With the 

help of museum guides, you get to explore 

life in the archipelago and everyday life on 

the fisherman’s estate as it used to be. 

“We organise guided tours, lectures, 

exhibitions and craft workshops, such as 

net knotting, in the museum area,” says 

Pentala Archipelago Museum’s guide and 

coordinator, Ninni Finnberg whose job 

description includes producing museum 

services for the public and keeping an eye 

on the plants in the museum yard. 

The role of a museum guide on Pentala 

is very versatile. As well as serving 

customers, museum guides look after the 

sheep in the area under Finnberg’s tuition. 

“The sheep that have a summer job at 

the Archipelago Museum are very affectionate, 

and visitors to the museum also 

get to stroke and cuddle them when their 

guide takes them to the pasture.” 

Visitors can enjoy the archipelago 

nature on the 2.3-kilometre-long nature 

trail that starts in the museum area and 

continues from the former fisherman’s 

estate to lake Pentalanjärvi and the 

Diksand beach. 

“When planning a visit to the museum, 

it’s good to remember that when the Tapiola 

weather station shows rain in Espoo, 

it’s often sunny here in the archipelago,” 

Finnberg says. 

You can also explore the Archipelago 

Museum and the history of the 

Pentala island virtually using the 

‘Museum Without Walls’ mobile guide 

at tarinasoitin.fi/pentala. 

The Pentala 

ram is waiting 

to be let 

loose on the 

island for 

the summer. 

The Pentala

Museum will 

reopen to the 

public on 6

Juvanpuisto is in the 

Niipperi district. It is a 

low-rise housing area 

favoured by families, 

situated adjacent to 

the industrial estates 

at Juvanmalmi and 

Koskelo.

A student body 

with a difference 

At the Juvanpuiston koulu 

joint comprehensive school, 

every pupil at the secondary 

level can participate in 

pupil body activities. The 

pupil body also adapts its 

activities according the 

pupils’ wishes. 

The Juvanpuiston koulu joint 

comprehensive school has 

abandoned the traditional 

secondary-level pupil body 

elections where one representative 

from each class is elected to 

the board. Instead, pupil body activities 

are structured around teams that any 

pupil may join according to their interests. 

“We have about 580 pupils, and some 

100 of them are on these teams. Next 

autumn, we plan to have all new pupils 

pick a team that they want to join. If 

there is no team that they’re interested 

in, we’ll set up new ones according to 

their interests,” says Headmaster Vesa 

Äyräs. 

The largest teams are the café team 

and the environmental Vihreä lippu 

[Green flag] team, which also admits 

pupils from primary school. 

“The café is open two days a week. 

The team is divided into smaller groups, 

with each group tending to the café for 

one week. We shop for baking supplies, 

bake the products and sell them. It’s 

a great way to learn about customer 

service and how to run a business,” says 

Mandi Isopahkala. 

Everyone may contribute however 

they can. Kerttu Kantomaa joined 

the international team initially as an 

observer but has since become one of its 

key members. 

“The international team takes care 

of guided tours for visitors. We have a 

lot of foreign visitors coming to view the 

Finnish school system in action and to 

see our school in particular. The best 

thing is meeting people from different 

cultures. It’s also good practice for performing 

skills and of course for communicating 

in English,” says Kerttu. 

There are many ways of working, 

and how often the teams meet 

depends on what they are doing. Kaisa 

Koivunen is on the international 

team and is also a member of STEM, 

a team for pupils interested in science 

and mathematics.

by the Espoo Ringside golf course 

• Two shops: a barber shop and a florist’s shop 

• Two youth halls, open alternately 

“Last year, our activities included an 

escape room,” says Kaisa. 

Mandi, Kerttu and Kaisa are also on 

the board of the pupil body along with 

Adele Silvennoinen. 

“We don’t actually elect the board 

members. It’s the most active people 

that get to be on the board,” says Adele, 

who herself is on the café, international, 

communications and environment 

teams. 

Coordinating teachers look after 

team operations, but everything is very 

free and informal. 

The teams are set up according to 

pupil interests. There is a scooter badly 

in need of repair stored at the school. 

The scooter, the spare parts needed and 

the mat on the workshop floor were 

acquired with a project grant received by 

the northern Espoo local chapter of the 

Mannerheim League for Child Welfare. 

“We work on the bike whenever we 

feel like it, on breaks and at other times 

too. The idea was to sell it by auction in the 

spring, but that was put on hold because of 

the coronavirus,” says Petrus Tahkola. 

Team activities are important for 

adolescents in a district where there are 

not many places to hang out. This operating 

model is being extended to two 

other schools in the Niipperi district. 

Opportunities 

for success 

THE unusual pupil body at Juvanpuisto 

forms part of a broader project to 

orient adolescents’ interests towards 

positive things. 

“All too often it’s the individuals 

who do stupid things that get all the 

attention among young people. It’s 

normal to explore your boundaries and 

to experiment with new things, but we 

want to focus on the positive,” says 

Headmaster Vesa Äyräs. 

The pupil body teams concept 

was launched at Juvanpuisto three 

years ago. With meaningful activities 

provided for the pupils, there have 

been fewer problems for instance during 

breaks. The concept now involves 

other schools in the district along with 

daycare centres and networks. 

“We hold intoxicant abuse seminars 

for parents in the evening to find 

ways for young people to engage 

actively. Pupils can now lead clubs 

for younger children, and parents and 

local businesses have offered their 

support for pupil teams,” says Äyräs 

and continues: 

“It’s nothing new, of course. You 

know, ‘it takes a village to bring up a 

child’.” At the turn of the millennium, 

there were dozens of clubs led by parents 

in the Juvanpuisto area, but they 

faded away. Now it is time to become 

active again. 

The pupils themselves wish that 

the youth facilities that there are in the 

district would be open more often.

This island in the Espoo Archipelago has not 

always been known as Pentala. Over the years, 

it has also been called Bentsall and Pentari. The 

earliest reference to the island by name dates 

from 1540, when it was referred to as Bentsall, 

notes Tryggve Gestrin, a curator at the Espoo City 

Museum. 

“Etymologically, the name was a combination of the 

Swedish first name Benedictus – Bengt – and the Finnish 

ending ‘-salo’ which means a large, wooded island,” 

explains Gestrin who has researched Pentala’s history. 

Pentala is located at the entrance to Espoonlahti bay 

and is one of the Sommaröarna – the ‘Summer Islands’, or 

Suvisaaristo in Finnish. It is not surprising that in the past, 

the most important source of income in the archipelago 

was fishing. 

“Pentala is a typical old fishing village. The inhabitants 

made their living from high seas fishing, and it was primarily 

Baltic herring that filled their nets. Most of the catch was 

kept by the inhabitants for their own use, and to pay the 

lease for the cottages. What was left over was then sold at 

the Market Square in Helsinki,” Gestrin describes. 

Sea fishing was demanding, but the Pentala fishermen 

were skilled masters of the art of sea fishing, recounts 

Gestrin. 

“In the 18th century, the explosions at Suomenlinna sea 

fortress posed a challenge, because they frightened the fish. 

This forced the fishermen to fish far out at sea, and not everyone 

made it back. 

In addition to fishing, the residents of Pentala hunted 

seabirds and seals and engaged in agriculture. The inhabitants 

primarily grew potatoes and other plant-based food 

for their own use.

In 1776, the island of Pentala 

in Espoo was inhabited 

by 22 Swedish-speaking 

inhabitants. Nowadays, the 

island welcomes visitors to 

the archipelago museum 

where the residents of Espoo 

can learn about Pentala’s 

history.

fisherman’s estate

In those years, Pentala belonged to the 

villages of Svinö and Moisö, which had been 

owned by Espoo Manor since 1640. It was 

also Espoo Manor that established the first 

fisherman’s cottage on Pentala in 1758. At 

the end of the 19th century, the island had 

three cottages. There were also several residential 

buildings and villas, including Gurli’s 

house. 

“Gurli’s house belonged to the fisherman’s 

widow Gurli Nyholm. She was the last 

resident to live on Pentala year-round, even 

in the 1980s. Her husband Arvid was the 

island’s last fisherman,” Gestrin describes. 

The oldest preserved fishing cottage on 

the island dates from 1791. The cottages and 

villas served as an extra source of income for 

Pentala’s fishermen. 

“We know that the first summer tourists 

to rent accommodation in Pentala did so as 

early as the middle of the 19th century. The 

guests were primarily officials and burghers 

who wanted a break from the crowded capital,” 

Gestrin said. 

No precise data exists about the development 

of the island’s population. Yet thanks 

to old church books from 1776, it is known 

that there were then 22 Swedish-speaking 

people living on Pentala. 

“Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, 

the inhabitants of Pentala were mainly 

Swedish-speaking, which was also the case 

elsewhere along the coast. Finnish only 

gained a stronger influence in the archipelago 

in the 20th century, when the archipelago 

became accessible via highways,” 

Gestrin explains. 

In 2010, the buildings on Pentala underwent 

an extensive renovation. Every object 

found in the course of the renovation was 

catalogued. 

“In the attic of the fisherman’s cottage, 

200 pairs of shoes and a small sealskin cap 

were discovered. In the old days, you didn’t 

throw anything away. New garments were 

made out of old materials,” explains Gestrin. 

Today Pentala Island is dotted with summer 

villas. In the summertime, the villas are 

primarily used by descendants of the original 

homeowners. 

Since the summer of 2018, Pentala also 

serves as an archipelago museum.

well-preserved example of early villa architecture 

along the entire Uusimaa coast. The museum is a 

time capsule of the summer holidays of the culturally 

active Kihlman family. They enjoyed summers at their 

villa for six generations until the villa passed into the 

ownership of the City of Espoo in 1980.

villas dot 

the islands 

Villas were big in the 1920s 

and 1930s. The bourgeoisie 

of Helsinki used to migrate 

to their villas in Espoo for the 

summer to enjoy crayfish 

banquets, swimming and 

social life in general. 

In 1920, Espoo was a 

rural municipality with a 

population of less than 

9,000. Growth and 

urbanisation began in 

the 1940s. 

Text Hanna Leino Photo Espoo City Museum 

› Espoo became a choice destination for summer residents 

in the 19th century when upper-class folk and merchants 

from Helsinki began to seek out the peace and quiet of the 

countryside in Espoo. City homes were cramped and maintained 

to strict standards to keep up appearances, and there 

was little potential for outdoor recreation. 

Back in the day, people with villas did not just pop over for 

the weekend – they relocated there for the entire summer. 

They would pack up a cartload of items, including linens 

and tableware. Their servants came with them, of course. 

They journeyed by steamship and boat from the Market 

Square in Helsinki to maritime Espoo. There were clusters 

of villas particularly in Degerö (now Laajasalo) and on the 

islands off Espoo, amidst lovely landscapes but conveniently 

served by local shipping. 

These villas were not summer cottages as we understand 

the term today. They were designed as fully liveable 

leisure residences with several outbuildings such as gazebos 

and bathing houses, the latter typically perched on the 

end of a jetty. Swimming used to be regarded as a pastime 

of the common people, but gentlefolk soon took it up when 

the outdoor life came to be idealised at the turn of the 20th 

century. 

Conceptions about appearances began to shift too: 

tanned skin and muscle tone were no longer regarded as 

coarse and common. Tennis and other outdoor sports 

were embraced by gentlefolk, and gardening was keenly 

adopted as a hobby. Villa gardens flourished. Villas had 

balconies and terraces on which to enjoy sunny summer 

days, and plenty of windows to admit the abundant summer 

sunlight. 

Such settings were ideal for hosting guests, and 

Midsummer bonfires and crayfish banquets in August 

could bring together families from several villas. 

While the better-off lived it up at their villas, the poor 

folk continued their everyday lives in the city. There was 

no such thing as a holiday for working people, so even 

among the gentlefolk the men who had jobs might commute 

to Helsinki to work by steamship. 

This article is based on an interview with researcher 

Heli Haavisto MA. In the autumn, Haavisto gives 

talks on the villas and other cultural-historical sites in 

Espoo in the lecture series Espoon helmet 

[Espoo gems]. The talks are held at the Espoo 

City Museum, and admission is free.
