POP UP

POP UP is a fresh spatial concept for a modern youth center. It will be located a in the railway gorge behind the Tennispalatsi entertainment center, as well as other spontaneous POP UP -sites around the city. The youth center will activate youngsters with independent activities by enabling their own ideas and accomplishments, in places they find important and with people they find inspiring.

The concept engages a vast range of youth sub-cultures, since the activity derives from the participation of active youths themselves. POP UP is a live, spatial 'blog' that lives and breathes with youngsters, in the moment, to be experienced all over the city. In addition, the open youth center also invites grown-ups to come and experience the interests and atmosphere of today's youth.
