<h3>Want to join Nordic CityMaking as a Friend?</h3>Nordic CityMaking Week is an independent initiative and a non-profit production by Helsinki-based office for citymaking Urban Practice. 2020 is the starting year for this forum and movement. It has been a strange year that has forced us to rethink the event many times. Despite all the changes we have wanted to remain committed to our goal: to make NCM as inclusive as possible. <a href="https://nordiccitymaking.fi/info" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more on our website</a>The events of the first NCM Week are free of charge and most of them can be enjoyed online. If you would however like to support the movement as a Friend of Nordic CityMaking, you can do so by simply purchasing a voluntary 40€ 'ticket'. As a company Urban Practice will pay normal taxes and fees for each ticket – thus the ticket is not a donation per se. All support is greatly appreciated.Friends of NCM will receive a special online publication of the NCM Week with articles, images and access to videos.In case you already have registered a ticket and would still like to become a Friend of NCM, you can contact us directly by email: contact(at)nordiccitymaking.fi
