Folkteatern in Dalarna receives support from Dalarna region
The Culture and Education Committee has decided that the Dalarna Folk Theater will receive a financial support of SEK 150,000 in 2022.

– Folk theater maintains high quality in its performance and fulfills the guidelines set by the Culture and Education Committee regarding children and youth, expanding participation and awareness activities, says Mersal Issa (MP), Chairman of the Culture and Education Committee.

There is a clear need for long-term financial support for free professional groups in the theater district, so that the art form can evolve and contribute to achieving the goals of the Dalarna Regional Culture and Education Plan, especially with regard to broader participation in the entire district and children and youth. Therefore, the Department of Culture and Education has been tasked with submitting proposals to design long-term support for the free performing arts in Dalarna. The proposal will be submitted to the Culture and Education Committee for further decisions in December 2022.
