2.4. There are many different
ways of implementation
Every organisation in Rovaniemi participates in
receiving the new inhabitants of Rovaniemi in its
own way – either actively or passively. The actors of
different sizes, the different fields of culture, and the activities in the public also increase the interest of
activities that include people in different ways have
different working methods.
The service structure is diverse
Developing the service structure is one of the main
points of the city strategy of Rovaniemi. The city
wants to develop partnerships with the organisation
sector. In this way, the city hopes to find more
options, take the customers into account better, and
increase communality. (City Strategy 2014–2017) The
organisation of the city’s services is directed by the
service procurement strategy approved by the City
Council. Among other things, the goals of the strategy
include promoting the development of a functioning
service market and the creation of regional service
companies.
The actors outside the city organisation must
be able to understand the view of the city on the
products of cultural services. For some of the actors,
the productisation has advanced far, and they are
able to submit comparable tenders and commit
to co-operation. Some are likely to need help and
working together to adopt product thinking. However,
several actors are very strong candidates for parties
to an agreement in organising cultural services
promoting integration.
Proposals:
ff The Leisure Board organises a tender
procedure or finds the best possible providers
for each of its service needs in other ways.
This requires that the city has an open line
of communication for proactive and active
discussions with the city’s cultural actors.
ff The field of free, professionally operating art
and the third sector organisations have the
most experience in Rovaniemi in integration
through the means of culture. The city will
recognise this competence by moving from
grants to service agreements in the connections
where the city has a clear productive goal.

Cultural actors identify their roles as
parties assisting with integration
According to the survey by Kultti, the largest actors
in the cultural sector are interested in working with
immigrants. Active discussion and the visibility of
smaller actors in the issue. The cultural life is a social
activity, which is why it will inevitably either help or
hinder integration.
Proposals:
ff The cultural administration will require its
partners to evaluate their accessibility from
the point of view of special groups, and
to describe how they can improve it.
ff The cultural actors will investigate the use
of applied methods in their field of activity
in supporting their normal services.
ff The cultural minority communities, the
Immigration Office, MoniNet and the Finnish Red
Cross transmit information about the needs of
new inhabitants of Rovaniemi and feedback on the
accessibility of the services to the cultural actors.
Each part of the city’s organisation
has convenient agreement tools
At the moment, the different sectors of the City of
Rovaniemi do not purchase enough services in the
cultural sector. In addition to the internal purchaser-
provider agreements, the different parts of the city
organisation could start tender procedures and
procure items and services from local entrepreneurs
and communities much more purposefully. The
procurement competence should be increased so that,
for example, the social service sector would know how
to purchase services in applied art.
Proposals:
ff The cultural actors productise their services. A well
described and clearly priced service is easier for
the buyer than an inspired idea alone. The cultural
actors contact the city employees in order to find
the right recipient for their co-operation proposals.
ff The potential equality coordinator collects
different cultural service agreement models
for common use. In this way, the service
procurement competence accumulates, and it is
not necessary to learn the same things all over
again for each and every new partnership.
