Full life in Kuhmo – Sustainable development through everyday actions

The pilot aims to develop interactive and participatory work that enhances sustainability. The implementation of a common urban strategy requires resident-driven action and activation to engage all actors in promoting sustainable development and achieving the relevant targets. The purpose of the project is to produce new information and operating models, especially for the needs of municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants.  

The project develops a sustainable development agreement model with local operators and integrates sustainable development work into statutory welfare and security planning. In addition, it tests the use of drama techniques in the inclusion work of sustainable development, trains actors within the organisation, and makes culture an integral part of both the experience of inclusion and communication about sustainable development.
