The Citizens’ Forum (Kansalaisfoorumi in Finnish), which is a national adult education institution and one of 12 study centres in Finland, along with the Amateur Theatre Association of Finland, the Finnish Youth Circus Association, the Finnish Youth Association and Nuori Kulttuuri (‘Young Culture’, available in Finnish), the Finnish Wind Band Association, and Citizen Forum r.a. (Kansalaisareena ry. in Finnish) - an umbrella organization of more than 130 organizations and a social influencer of voluntary activities), cooperatively produced a set of indicator showing the experienced impact of cultural free time activities. The indicators were developed and tested during the years 2021-2022. The hope is that as many culture-related organisations as possible take this set of indicators into use. The indicators measure the experienced sense of impact of cultural free time activities along physical, psychological, learning related, social and communal dimensions.
