About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Vardø is a small town in the very northeast of Norway with app. 2000 inhabitants. It is the oldest town in northern Norway, situated on an island in the Barents Sea. Vardø is the only town in Norway situated in the arctic climate zone. The distance from Oslo to Vardø is about 2000 km, so you need to estimate some extra costs for travelling there. Vardø has lots of history to offer visitors, amongst others memorials from World War 2. Another aspect of Vardø is nature, various kinds of birds are nesting there, and there are good opportunities for hiking. Foreningen 771 is a voluntary organization in Vardø. It is now building a house for silence, meditation and different cultural activities. In 2014 and 2015 Foreningen 771 built an outdoor place and a small house in cooperation with ID
