Acusticum Talks For a better Piteå

Acusticum Talks

 

Together towards the future - Young people's mental health as a key to a sustainable society

 

A third of Piteå's young people have felt unwell in the past year and 16 percent have felt so unwell that they have had suicidal thoughts. The fact that our young people are feeling unwell is a worrying trend that requires our full attention. Now we invite you to an Acusticum Talks that highlights the initiative For a better Piteå - a powerful investment in young people's well-being. Together with you, we want to create a movement that contributes to the well-being of Piteå's young people. This is the starting point. We hope you want to join us.

 

Monday, April 14, 3:00 PM-6:00 PM, Stora salen, Studio Acusticum

 

On stage:

 

Klas Bergling, founder of the Tim Bergling Foundation, talks about the work for young people's well-being and the investment For A Better Day in which music plays a significant role.

The initiative is supported by Piteå Science Park, Piteå Näringsfastigheter and Piteå Municipality. The goal is to contribute to a powerful movement for young people's mental health and bring together those who are already working on these issues. A long-term goal is to enable financing for a meeting place for young people in the Acusticum area, a place where culture, sports, education and innovation work together to strengthen the well-being of young people.
