We, Olha and Alexander, recently visited a permaculture collective Hästekasen in Sweden as part of the Erasmus+ cultural exchange project “Folklore for Future”.
We spent 14 days learning about the Swedish culture and joining various activities from sailing on an old ship to telling fairytales and building a primitive stone wall😮
Come and explore Swedish folklore with us!
