What is Tassulla on tarina?
The Vaara-Karjala Cultural Association's Tassulla on tarina project develops products and services related to the bear brand, wild food, wild herbs, and mire environment. A total of 25 companies and organizations from Ilomantsi and its surrounding areas are involved. The project includes a service designer from whom the "Tassulaiset" receive free sparring assistance in matters related to, for example, service development, branding, storytelling, visual communication, concept development, and improving customer experience. Tassulla on tarina is part of the Suo 2.0 - From holistic sustainability to vitality in Ilomantsi project, which is co-financed by the European Union. The project complex is led by the University of Eastern Finland, and the Finnish Environment Institute, Syke, is also involved. The Vaara-Karjala Cultural Association ry of the Rural Education Association operating in Ilomantsi is a sub-implementer in the project. The project started in February 2024 and lasts until May 2026.
