Together with the target group, they want to develop a new culture-pedagogical way of working where children’s and young people’s needs, reflections, wishes and the artistic process are at the center.

The project will build three physical art education nodes in Saxnäs, Dikanäs and Vilhelmina and also create an outreach mobile activity based on the new way of working. The aim is to give the target group insights into art and culture and its symbiosis with emotional life, and through cultural creation to contribute to a more vibrant sparsely populated area in inland and mountain municipalities where the Sami and Swedish cultures live side by side.

In order to create a sustainable structure for the method and make the activity accessible to the target group, a collaboration must be developed with the school, the recreation center, student health, the library, associations and with artists who visit Ricklundgården.

The process and the new way of working must be summarized in a method manual and a film. After the project, the business will be transformed into an association. The working method is to be incorporated into the regular activities of the foundation’s art education workshop EMMAS at Ricklundgården.
