Geresdlak village council is approaching the cultural capital year as a long-term investment in the socio-economic development of the village, and is seeking funds to establish a permanent House of Finno-Ugric Culture. Geresdlak\u2019s authorities also understand the potential role that Geresdlak can play in strengthening trilateral Finno-Ugric cooperation between Hungary, Finland and Estonia, and are taking proactive steps in this direction.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of the day was a meeting with the representatives of Geresdlak\u2019s vibrant Finnish community. Finns of Geresdlak are one of the key reasons why Geresdlak decided to apply for the title of Finno-Ugric Capital of Culture 2027, and why it was selected for the title. It was inspiring to hear how actively Geresdlak\u2019s Finnish community is planning to contribute to the cultural capital year.<\/p>\n<p>One example of Geresdlak\u2019s creative approach to the cultural capital year is that the local kindergarten will be holding several Finno-Ugric themed events for its kids during the year, making them active participants of the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Planning for the year is in full swing also in the Geresdlak Village Council, as the meetings with Deputy Mayor Csaba Fischer and Secretary Vikt\u00f3ria Fischern\u00e9 Farag\u00f3 ndemonstrated. The Finno-Ugric world can look forward to a lively and memorable year.<br \/>\nIt is a good time to start making plans for visiting Geresdlak in 2027.
