The global pandemic has severely affected the dance communities worldwide. EDDI is a collaborative effort by dancers and digital content creators in Espoo to inspire, cheer and encourage everyone through a festive event combining the joyful spirit of dance, culture and digital technology.
Espoo is the second biggest city and municipal area in Finland, located a few kilometers west of the capital city of Helsinki. From the Helsinki airport it only takes about 30 minutes to reach Espoo and, from the City Center of Helsinki only about 15 minutes. It has a current population of about 289,000. Espoo does not have a traditional city center. Instead, it is divided into several regional centres.
The city of Espoo is known as a thriving technology centre in Europe where more than 600 major international companies have established operations including Nokia, Tieto, Kone, Neste, Fortum, Orion Corporation and more. Rovio, the creator of Angry Birds, is also located in Espoo as well as Aalto university, a world-class science and technology university.
Espoo is known as the happiest city in Finland and considered one of the most intelligent communities in the world. This is due to the diversity of nationalities, about 150 countries represented, and the presence of the huge international companies in the region. Espoo is officially bilingual, Finnish and Swedish, but English is common and increasingly used.
Obviously, where there is ethnic diversity, there is rich eclectic culture. Espoo is a city of music and dance. The city houses several cultural facilities including theatres and libraries for various international cultural activities. In 2019, Espoo library won and was awarded “the Best Library of the world” in London because of its open and innovative ideas.
