During the autumn of 2024 and a bit into 2025, the pre-study Folkverkstan in Norr has been conducted. The purpose of the pre-study was to strengthen the conditions for local sustainability work, circularity, reuse, and creativity. The goal of the project was to produce a pre-study report that shows the needs and conditions for starting up Folkverkstan in Norr in the leader area's three municipalities: Gällivare, Jokkmokk, and Överkalix.
