<\/a>IN ENGLISH<\/p>\nSticks and Stones<\/h1>\n
In Juankoski there are many buildings from the late 1800\u2019s and early 1900\u2019s with many of them dating from the times when the town was an important producer of wood pulp and also the lake ore ironworks. Juankoski Heritage Society and Juankoski Gardening Association consider that raising awareness of this rich heritage through environmental work is very important for the image of Juankoski. At present many of these important buildings and areas are hidden by forest and lack of maintenance.<\/p>\n
Sticks and stones is part of the wider FinnScot: YesCommAct project which involves creating a close working relationship between different areas of Finland, Northeast Savo (Nilsi\u00e4, Kaavi, Juankoski) Ouluj\u00e4rvi (Paltamo) and Satakunta (Parkano). As well as increasing co-operation with Huntly in Scotland which was started during a previous project called Juanvirta and also developing contact with Savoia di Lucania in Italy. YesCommAct involves youth music and dance, community building, heritage, traditional building, landscape improvement, tourism and encouraging volunteerism. Sticks and Stones has as its main partners Huntly and Parkano.<\/p>\n
YesCommAct Sticks and Stones aims to create a traditional garden based on old photographs at the brass band house, to restore the \u2018pukkikallio\u2019 area which used to be a main gathering area in Juankoski, to create a restful area in the oldest cemetery in Juankoski as well as raising awareness of the fact that it is a cemetery, to create an access for all cultural\/historical\/nature trail along the route of the old narrow gauge railway and to continue development of the Community Garden \u2018Ruukin Katve\u2019 and increase it\u2019s use as an area for events and gatherings. A further aim is to study the \u2018Town is the Venue\u2019 developed by Deveron Arts in Huntly and to work out how it can be adapted to suit the needs of Juankoski.<\/p>\n
Actions taken during the project will include workshops, general volunteering sessions, planning sessions and furthering the study of the heritage of Juankoski.<\/p>\n
