The project Lystra loves the World Heritage
With the EU-funded transboundary Interreg Botnia-Atlantica project Lystra, Finland and Sweden with their project partners join efforts to develop the shared world heritage area in the time period of 1.1.2018—31.12.2020.
The project emphasises planning of guidance, updated expert information on the area’s geology, modern digital solutions and collection of world heritage publications and materials. After the project we will have, for example, an interpretation plan, geological animations, and this shared portal which will contain an interactive world heritage map and a data bank for world heritage materials and publications.
All the things described above will strengthen the image of the shared, unique world heritage site and bring the world heritage close to inhabitants, visitors and entrepreneurs of the area.

Lystra's budget
Project’s total budget is 1,38 million euros. Besides the EU-funding, the other providers of funds in Finland are the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia, Association of the World Heritage Site of Kvarken Arhcipelago, and Visit Vaasa. In Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the municipalities of Örnsköldvik and Kramfors fund the project.
Lystra wants to do good
