We at Ricklundgården & EMMAS in Saxnäs are extra happy today
Together with 19 cultural schools in Västerbotten and Norrbotten, we have received over SEK 14 million to develop new forms of collaboration over a three-year period.
The project goals are about developing working methods, structures and models for inter-municipal employment and inter-regional solutions, regardless of geographical distance, as well as testing the necessary technology for this.
The overall aim of the project is to obtain increased and more equal competence among the regions’ cultural schools, regardless of municipality size and demographics, as well as to develop and test different organizational structures to make available a wider labor market for cultural school staff in rural and sparsely populated areas.
In an extension, this may also have significance for other forms of collaboration and cooperation between the municipalities in northern Sweden.
Emma Ricklund’s foundation, which was the initiator and project seeker for our first big project that was financed by the Postal Code Foundation between 2022 and the end of February this year, could never have dreamed of what big rings on the water it would become.
We BELIEVED in our idea, we dared to bet but if someone had told us that two years later we would be working in yet another new project financed by the Heritage Fund (KRAM) and that we would also be one of the active activities in this large cross-regional EU project from the ESF Council and the regions, we would probably have fallen off the chair.
We are happy for everyone who wants to rejoice with us and rejoice for the cultural development that is now taking place in the mountain world, inland and throughout northern Sweden
