miniMAFF

In 2022-23, ARNA participates in the Erasmus project miniMAFF. During the project period young people aged 13–18 and their leaders or teachers, get the opportunity to meet, exchange experiences and thoughts on issues that affect the nature around us and climate change. The project works with different cultural expressions such as photography, film, land art and short texts.
