PRIMARY SCHOOL CULTURE PROGRAMME
The aim of Lahti’s primary school culture programme is that every pupil should attend a cultural event at least once a year and be able to describe the experience.
For schools the programme provides a complete service in accordance with the curriculum, taking their needs and resources into account, e.g. if transport for a cultural visit is required. Every pupil has an equal opportunity to experience the city’s cultural facilities. In addition, teachers are provided with material to use when preparing for visits, during the visits themselves and to help manage the cultural experience.
