Preparedness work in villages continues and deepens
Long-term work has been done in villages to improve safety and preparedness. In autumn 2026, we will continue to strengthen villages for disruptions by providing assistance, for example, in developing community houses as preparedness centers. We will also implement a provincial village radio network. The work is made possible by the Smart Preparedness for Villages project, which is co-funded by the South Ostrobothnia Vitality Center and the European Union. For the past 1.5 years, preparedness has been improved under the theme 4K – Capable and Sustainable Partner Villages. The project […]
The Village Calls evening in Seinäjoki lifted our spirits and spirits!
Teppo Ylitalo, executive director of the Finnish Home Regions Association, captured the atmosphere by stating: “There is no future – we will make it!” Ylitalo gave a lot to think about in a positive light about the future of villages.

A plan to achieve the goals, or village strategy, was written down. “At first, it may have seemed that the village association needed to write a strategy, which in words does not sound very attractive to village actors who are used to practical matters. However, when working on the village strategy, it was noticed that […]
Munakka is the South Ostrobothnian village of the year 2026
The people of Munakka celebrated their title of South Ostrobothnia Village of the Year 2026 with a communal fish soup and cake coffee on June 5. It was already clear in the yard that the celebration was like their village: about half of the partygoers were primary and secondary school age and the other half were of an age group for whom spending the occasion sitting at a table was more natural. There was no “push-and-pull” at the celebration, people chatted and enjoyed the food. The soup was reserved for the first 150 people, […]
