Võru hosted a two-day online Transnational Meeting on community spirit building

Võru is a small town in the South-East of Estonia, with only about 12,000 inhabitants, yet, it’s a lively place with an active community, strong cultural heritage, and innovative mindset. There are four lakes in the town and numerous parks to wander around, the centre holds old and lovely low-rise wooden houses and a contemporary town square. As everything in the little town is close at hand, the best way to go about the town is having a slow and long walk.

The town has a strong and active community. Many recent projects and objects have been created by or with the community. The town government is very open to new initiatives by the citizens, welcoming, encouraging, consulting, and co-funding to help to bring the ideas to life.

The project team identified the 10 most important community projects in Võru from the past few years, interviewed the project leads, and shared the stories via videos with other project partners.
