In May 2021 representatives of Pryazha, Medvezhyegorsk, Kostomuksha and Petrozavodsk met on a trip to Olonets municipality, discussing the forms of possible cooperation between rural settlements in Karelia and Västerbotten.
Swedish-Karelian Business and Information Centre together with County Administrative Board of Västerbotten are working on a new project meant to itensify cooperation between the twinning municipalities and promote exchange of best practices on forms of public participation in organization of rural life.
Here's a short video of our intense and very productive trip to the villages of Nurmolitsa, Kovera, Gavrilovka, Simon-Navolok and Megrega.
