In collaboration with the South Sami school in Hattfjelldal, we created a project to exchange knowledge with the Nenets culture in Russia. Painting, arranging peace workshops and exchanging paintings for exhibitions is a way to get to know each other's lives and which will help promoting a peaceful climate between Norway and Russia.

Sponsored by The Norwegian Barents Secretariat we created a youth exchange to build good relations with our neighbors and expand perspectives across borders. We invited our partners at an agricultural high school in Naryan-Mar, Russia to come to Bindal, Norway.

The project in Verkhnetulomsky and Tuloma was part of a larger three-part Peacepainting project to promote the Skolt Sámi minorities in Russia, Finland and Norway.

Naryan-Mar was Peacepainting’s second contact place in Russia, and cooperation with an agricultural high school in we created a wonderful project sponsored by The Norwegian Barents Secretariat.
