The previous project (the first phase of Kalevala Into the New Millennium) concentrated on creating a networking system between White Sea Karelia and the programme area of Interreg III A Karelia, accounting for, illustrating and preserving the unique cultural values of the Karelian folk song areas as well as guaranteeing their sustainability in both the material and non-material cultural sectors. This project carried on the work for preserving and reviving the cultural heritage. The project strived for demonstrating the significance of cultural heritage in terms of building the future and, in particular, to demonstrate by modern means the unique character of the Karelian cultural heritage to people today.
