| Introduction | During the past 10 years long-lasting partner cooperation with Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish youth organizations has been established. The club assists in reception of youth groups coming to Karelia and represents Karelian and Russian culture abroad. Within the framework of its activity “Solveig” conducts educational meetings devoted to history, geography, culture, and traditions. The meetings take place two times a month, and representatives of different countries take part in them. The club has also participated in several drama projects. Among them International youth musical and theatrical festival “Golden Keys” (in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009) and International ecological festival “Let’s Defend the Earth’s Beauty” can be named. |
