Experience Our Stories along the Northern Lights Route

Since time immemorial, the people living in Finland, Sweden and Norway’s most northernly regions have met and mingled, swapped stories and shared hardships. The cross-border project called “Our Stories – The business of using storytelling to draw people in” explores the cultural and historical overlap that is very much a feature of what is known collectively as the North Calotte region.

The common roots and shared identity of the North Calotte are clear to see when you travel the iconic Northern Lights Route.

Our Stories project has collected and been inspired by tales told by local people and visitors along The Northern Lights Route. These stories have been brought to life through historical and modern music, short films, animations and oral storytelling.

This storybook is a limited edition of 30 chosen stories from the project period.

We hope you will enjoy the experience!
