Thanks to my tutor David I found this initiative called i-Probono offering free legal advice for those who can't afford it: http://www.i-probono.com/index.aspx (featured in recent Observer article about top New Radicals in UK)
This gave me an idea.
As mentioned earlier, the closest meso-climate of the Broad Chare site, where Finnish Institute is going to be based, is pretty much defined by the activity of law - solicitors' and barristers' offices as well as the Newcastle Law Courts itself are going to be the closest neighbors of the Finnish Institute. At first I thought I am only going to be able to use the lawyers' lunchtime to get my 'asorbtion of energy' going. On the other hand...
I decided to provide an office space for a pro-bono student law firm within the institute where students work for public by using their experience and legal skills.
I am already envisioning Finnish Institute as very multidisciplinary and transparent: different activities experienced at the same time to achieve a kind of short-circuit we call a creative collaboration.
Nice one, Northumbria:
