Tampere has no information about happenings in English

-

I think that the real problem in Tampere is that there is no information about happenings in English. Yes, there is some happening information in Tampere city web-sites, but there are not all of the happenings and festivals. This is very unfortunate for the foreigners who live in Tampere. For example I have some Nepalese friends which are studying in Finland and I’m the only information source for them about Tampere-day or the Floral festival. When I asked about this in Tampere city web-sites they answered that there is no point because there is no tours or speeches in English. This is outrageous assumption and really closed minded. My Nepalese friends want to go these things and see our festival and see the local people even though they don’t understand the language. It is not a problem for them because they can understand a lot about peoples acts when they just follow them around.
This problem and assumption is making my friends feel even more foreigner and outsiders, and make them feel that we don’t want them here, and that is not true, is it?
