Young people involved in community activities
Young people’s participation in the activities of associations, clubs and other communities does not happen by itself – but when young people are given space and opportunities, their ideas and energy can renew the entire operating culture. This idea is supported by Liiver’s new website, which offers concrete examples and ideas for involving young people. The website is based on the need to respond to the challenges faced by communities: how to find new volunteers, make activities […]

Koura Minimarket turned one year old
– There should be a shop in Koura, said a neighbor to Päivi Alakanga and Sami Sunnarborg. They themselves said the same thing, when after several shopping trips they noticed that they had not purchased something they needed. Both Päivi and Sami have an entrepreneurial background, so the idea of establishing a village shop seemed like a possibility. The point of establishing the shop has been to save customers’ time: – It is pointless to spend valuable free time driving […]
The price of loneliness for the elderly is high
A survey by the Finnish Red Cross from last year speaks harshly: Almost one in ten of the Red Cross’s friends’ activities clients do not exchange news with anyone other than our volunteers. According to the Loneliness Barometer, which was commissioned several times a year, loneliness among the elderly has increased in recent years. Half of those over 65 experience loneliness at least sometimes and a fifth monthly or more often. Loneliness in the elderly has often continued for longer. A good everyday life […]
Kylävara protects in exceptional circumstances
Many people are familiar with the Home Reserve 72 preparation recommendation. The Home Reserve specifies the things that a family can do for three days in exceptional circumstances.

In Ilmajoki, the Nopankylä Village Association has increased its preparedness by purchasing a comprehensive first aid kit and a defibrillator for the village hall. In addition, the village hall has a village radio that works without the network and electricity […]

Without villages there are only cities
Communication in its various forms is the unifying factor in my work history. As an adult, I became interested in studying again, and SeAmk's announcement about a "rural developer" caught my attention. So, from the background of a city girl, I bravely ended up studying to be an agrologist. Although at the beginning of my studies I thought I would completely change my field, I soon realized that I also need to strengthen my previous skills. As someone with an entrepreneurial background, I got even more excited about strategic development. I like planning, analyzing and writing, but concrete is also […]
