My municipality - the library as a forum for discussing common issues and supporting media literacy was a joint project of the seven public libraries in the Lahti region and the Cultura foundation. The city libraries of Imatra and Lappeenranta participated from South Karelia. The project is coordinated by the Lahti City Library. The project aimed to improve the trust of the municipalities in the local administration, to increase the interaction between people and the experiences of participation, and to strengthen media literacy.
During the project, guided discussion sessions on local, current topics were organized in the libraries. In addition to municipal residents, decision makers, office holders and media representatives were invited to the discussion. The Group Break method was used in the discussions, which can be used to have a constructive and equal social discussion.
The project period was July 1.7.2022, 31.12.2023–December XNUMX, XNUMX. The project received a grant from the Regional Administration Office.
