Francesca Furnari’s Master’s thesis at Tampere University of Applied Sciences explores how art, culture, and community-based practices can enhance adult wellbeing and encourage active social participation.

The research builds on ACCAC’s vision of creating a truly accessible cultural center in Tampere and offers a practical framework for developing inclusive and community-driven cultural activities.

At the heart of the study are the principles of radical inclusion, accessibility, and safe spaces — key factors in preventing mental health challenges and social isolation.
