Looking for help to recover and maintenance of a building in Lapland, Sweden

Description

In Lapland a culture art house is starting, please join us in creating something different and special.
We have several properties that are surrounded by lakes. Two buildings that used to be schools, other used to be a confirmation camp by youngsters, and another was the theater of the oldest amateur association of the north part of Sweden - Norrbotten. The idea is to renovate them and bring happenings, energy, and life to small villages in Lapland. All help is welcome.
