Arttu Haapalainen, project coordinator and producer at Tampere Theatre, talks about the activities of the Mobile Stage, which can help reach out to a wider and more diverse audiences. Visual artist and art therapist Marjukka Irni solves the problems of moving and social accessibility by bringing the making of visual art to elderly people. In addition, rainbow seniors Kuisma Savisalo and Risto Hartikainen present themselves in the videos. Kuisma Savisalo tells about the work of expert by experience trainer and reflects the encounters of rainbow seniors and services aimed for elderly people.
