Leader Ravakka is one of the five Local Action Groups implementing the Four Seasons Derby project. In Ravakka’s area there have been two new and innovative events as part of the project. One was the Moonlight Dinner in Mynämäki in 2018 and the other the Sauna Seminar in 2019 as part of the traditional Lapin Löylypäivät event. Ravakka works together with two great local partners, the Wirmon Martat and the Vireä Lappi associations, on the local dimension of the project.
