Regenerate - Interreg NPA

08/10/2026

This week (30.9.-1.10.), the Regenerate project partners in Finland took part in the Interreg NPA Finnish Partners Meeting in Oulu, bringing together Finnish organisations involved in Northern Periphery and Arctic programme projects.

The meeting offered a valuable opportunity to introduce ongoing projects, exchange experiences and discuss how different project teams can support one another. Participants shared lessons from transnational cooperation, discussed common challenges and possible solutions, and heard updates on current NPA programme topics, controller practices and national co-financing.

One of the highlights was a field demonstration by the FORESTCARBONVISION project, where we got to see how drones are used for measurements in a peatland environment.

The event was also an excellent chance to network, exchange ideas and discover possible connections between projects. Cross-project cooperation and knowledge sharing can create new perspectives and strengthen the impact of NPA activities across Finland and the wider programme area.

The NPA REGENERATE project is driving a regenerative tourism mindset that builds resilient communities and preserves the unique heritage of our Northern Periphery and Arctic region. REGENERATE partners from each participating project region of Sweden, Finland, and Iceland arrived in Ireland for a learning journey that will introduce them to regenerative tourism practices, tools, and approaches being used in County Cavan, Ireland, to contribute to the regeneration of their natural, economic, and cultural resources.

REGENERATE tourism project partner, Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark in Cavan County Council, has an established Regenerative Tourism Business Network, which, through multiple training programs in 2020, 2022, and 2024, has brought together 32 members within its Network, all of which share the common goal of being a more sustainable business. The Network has a wide range of businesses from accommodation and activity providers to producers and retailers.

Partners from Visit Reykjanes and GeoCamp (Iceland), ProxyLab and Karelia UAS (Finland), Gold of Lapland (Sweden), and Cavan County Council (Ireland) met in Iceland to plan the next steps.

The partnership also visited the Icelandic Tourism Cluster in Reykjavik. We attended two interesting presentations about Iceland’s tourism journey and simple regenerative ideas that can help improve tourism in Europe.

The REGENERATE project aims to support more sustainable tourism in the NPA region by creating travel hubs and helping destinations develop local tourism strategies that benefit local people.
