Together Filmbyn Småland
"Tillsammans Filmbyn Småland" is a project that was financed via LEADER Astrid Lindgren's Homeland during 2022 and 2023. Part of the project was a new exhibition part about "Nils Karlsson Pyssling" which had free admission during the project's duration. The project also had a focus on promoting local and regional involvement; by promoting cooperation between companies and associations linked to Astrid Lindgren's works and by increasing the participation of young people and creating a recurring newsletter about the opportunities in the association and Filmbyn (house).
