Our impact to Culture-
climate change
The Oulujoki River is rich in stories and legends rooted in its climatic, scenic, and cultural history. The project’s events highlight the region’s valuable cultural heritage through bold, communal, and participatory approaches, set in natural and cultural environments as well as settlements and wilderness areas. A key goal is to strengthen today’s sense of community and pride in cultural diversity.
