We are looking for interviewees for the stories of the cityʼs 50th anniversary

The City of Vantaa will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in 2024, with the theme Home in Vantaa, and we will publish stories from the cityʼs residents in our own media.

Are you the interviewee we are looking for for the stories of the centenary year in Vantaa? Or do you know someone whose story should definitely be told?

Invite us to visit!

We hope that people of all ages will share their own experiences and thoughts about Vantaaʼs past, present or future. If you wish, you can also open the door of your home to a journalist and photographer, as we want to show the many different kinds of homes we love in Vantaa. How is your home different from others? Or if you moved away, how did Vantaa stay a part of you?

What does it mean to you to be at home in Vantaa? How and where have you grown your wings and roots? It is said that home is where the heart is. We want to know where your heart beats most to the beat of Vantaa?

Did you rejoice, grieve, love in Vantaa?

We tell your own story. Funny, touching, special, relatable. Were you present at a historical moment? Are you in the process of creating solutions for the future? Did you set up a business or organisation in Vantaa?

How did you find your home and how did you move? How has your neighbourhood changed? What about services?

Did you arrive in Vantaa from another country? Did you find a life partner, friend or companion in Vantaa? Did you study, pursue a hobby, rejoice, grieve, love in Vantaa? Or was it perhaps just a visit or an encounter that made you feel at home in Vantaa?
