\u201eA year together in dance\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the project:<\/strong> The main objective of the project is to strengthen the relations between the local population of the border towns of Valka-Valga, to promote communication and a sense of belonging in an international, cross-border environment. The activities aim to foster better integration of Estonian and Latvian people through active lifestyles and to create a more diverse and stronger community network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project activities:<\/strong> The project will prepare a folk and contemporary dance performance, in which 3 folk dance groups from Valka and 3 folk dance groups from Valga will work together to stage a joint dance performance. Both joint and separate dance performances will be organised for Valka and Valga dance groups. The first dance performance is planned for June 2025 as part of the Valka-Valga Twin Town Festival. In addition, 4 more dance performances are planned - 2 in Latvia and 2 in Estonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the above-mentioned activities, 4 different dance workshops are regularly organised in Valka and Valga, inviting people from both cities to participate. The working language of the dance workshops is English. The workshops are designed to take into account different levels of mobility and to be inclusive for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
