Connecting Education and Youth Across the Bothnian Arc

ALLY – Bothnian Arc Learning and Youth Alliance

The Interreg Aurora funded project ALLY – Bothnian Arc Learning and Youth Alliance strengthens long-term cooperation in education and youth work across the Bothnian Arc region.

The project brings together municipalities from the region to build a lasting network for education and youth professionals. Together, they will create the Bothnian Arc Education and Youth Program, a shared framework that sets common goals, priorities, themes and practical models of working across borders within the education and youth sector.

Throughout the project, municipal leaders, experts and youth representatives will share experiences, identify barriers to cooperation and develop practical solutions that make cross-border collaboration easier. Through workshops, exchange visits and joint learning, the project will strengthen skills, networks and mutual understanding throughout the region.

By the end of the project, the Bothnian Arc region will have a durable education and youth network and a jointly developed program to guide future collaboration beyond the project’s lifetime.
