Energy renovation is good for the village hall – and your wallet

Energy renovations of village houses are more relevant than ever before. Rising energy prices and the support available for renovations encourage village associations to update old heating systems with newer and more energy-efficient solutions. It is often also worth investing in additional thermal insulation and door and window renovations to improve energy efficiency overall. New technologies, such as consumption control and energy storage, offer smarter alternatives for renovations. The benefits of energy renovation are seen not only in reduced […]

What can I do to improve the safety and preparedness of my own village?

Kylät voivat perustaa keskuudestaan kyläturvatiimin. Kyläturvatiimi on kylän omaa, vapaaehtoita varautumista kriiseihin. Kyläturvatiimin myötä apu on lähellä asukkaita ja tiimi myös edesauttaa viranomaisapua saavuttamaan kohteen nopeammin. Tiimin tärkeä tehtävä onkin välittää tilannetietoa pelastuslaitoksen ja kylän välillä onnettomuus- ja häiriötilanteissa. Tiimissä tarvitaan eri osaamista, joten siihen voi kuulua kylän oman tarpeen ja resurssin mukaan esimerkiksi metsästäjiä, […]

In village communities and associations, developing waste management can seem like a big deal, but the most important thing is to start. Along the way, recycling and composting can always be developed further. According to environmental advisor Aana Vainio, developing sorting can also bring savings to the association if sorting can reduce the need for waste management. By planning to control waste, Aana feels that the waste hierarchy begins even before waste is created. Even before […]
A walk into the future through the eyes of a young person

“On Thursday, November 13, 2025, we gathered in the Seurala yard in Pojanluoma for a future walk. At the beginning of the event, we toured the yard of the Seurala village hall and discussed its possibilities and various development ideas. Due to the windy and drizzly weather, we quickly moved indoors to take a closer look at what needs to be taken into account when designing the yard, and how the project can be implemented sustainably. My thoughts were directed directly towards how to make the yard more comfortable for children and young people. […]
Sustainable use of peatlands opens up new opportunities for villages

Peatland restoration goals are significant in Finland, and villages can play a surprisingly large role in their implementation. Peatlands offer village communities diverse opportunities, especially for the development of nature tourism and recreational use. For example, fire basins built in peat areas can be part of the villages’ preparedness and safety, which emphasizes the multifunctionality of the areas. According to Jaakko Liinamaa of the Forest Centre, small actors in villages – such as village clubs, associations and other active communities – […]
