THERE’S SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE
ON ONE HAND:• Demographic challenge: youth are moving away
ON THE OTHER HAND:
• A growing number of activities on Bornholm arranged by, and attended by youth, who have grown up on and moved from Bornholm.
THIS IS OUR POINT OF DEPARTURE
PROJECT QUESTIONS
• Which activities do youth who have moved away from Bornholm participate in on the island?
• Can we conceptualise these activities as a creative resource for Bornholm? How?
• To what extent and why is Bornholm chosen specifically as the place to be?
• What are the motives for the youths’ choice of Bornholm as the locality of their activities?

MAIN ACTIVITIES IN THE PROJECT
OPEN-ENDED

EFFECTS
New perspectives & new discourses- From a traditional peripheral understanding focused on
loss of population to a new peripheral concept envisioning ex-locals’ activities as cultural and social resources. These resources support regional re-branding and local development.
Long-term effects- We truly wish this project to be a development project,
which is open-ended and in constant movement.
