Are you dreaming of a common place in your village to organize events, gather and have fun? Could the villagers benefit from building new sports facilities? Are you thinking about new services to be implemented in the village to increase the village association's finances?
Does it occur to you that the village landscape could be cleaned up by clearing away bushes and a professional could draw up a plan on how to make the environment more pleasant and attractive to potential new residents?
Have you considered the possibilities of renewable energy when paying the village hall's electricity bills? What about ecology, such as recycling or a sharing economy that brings savings within the village? Would digital locking and monitoring systems in the village hall facilitate the usability and security of the house?
Should the village's precious and interesting history be published for future generations to know? Would it be beneficial for the village to hire someone to develop the village's communications?
What is the image or brand of the village? What impression does the website give to outsiders about the village and is all the necessary information available there? How can the village be found on different channels and does the publications highlight a living village, its people and stories? What kind of atmosphere is conveyed about the village, is a new person welcome there?
These questions include development projects planned and implemented in the Village of the Future 2.0 project. If the topics interest your own village, you can get more ideas and information at the Village Invites – Future Evening on Wednesday, May 6, at the Economic Development Center in Seinäjoki. The event will reach from the grassroots level to the brilliant future of the villages.
You can contact Mari for any development needs in the village. If you are thinking about starting a project, you should contact Telle.
