GREETING FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FINLAND

I would like to bid all of the participants welcome to the first fully fledged Barents Summer Games to be held in Finland and Oulu. Young athletes from the Barents Region have gathered to participate in a total of fifteen sporting events, from team games to individual disciplines.

This event also demonstrates the power of the Barents Region. Nowadays, over six million people live in the northern reaches of Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. The Games are filling the Oulu region with their vibrant colours. In addition to providing an excellent background for sporting endeavours, the event aids the development of culture, sport and other cooperation in the northern region.

Besides the athletes, high numbers of voluntary workers have paved the way for the success of these Games. The Games have been made possible by the efforts of organisers from Kalottiurheilu and around 350 volunteers.

As well as succeeding, a spirit of fair play and the joy of a successful performance are important in sport. I wish all of the athletes, coaches, volunteers and the audience an excellent and unforgettable time at Barents Summer Games.

Sauli Niinistö President of the Republic of Finland

the way is opened towards better and better Games BSG Oulu 2015 were the first official Barents Summer Games and the largest event in the 65 years history of Barents Sports. The event was a massive effort for organizers, but the Games were a great success. We want to thank all the athletes, all sports that organized the competitions, all volunteers, the city of Oulu and all our other partners!

Barents Sport Committee began to strive towards a new concept, common Barents Games year 2012. Luleå 2013, Tromso BWG 2014 and now Oulu BSG 2015 showed that selected path has been right.

Now the way is opened towards better and better Games that inspire Barents youth to participate more and more in sport cooperation across the borders.

We wish good luck to following organizers of Barents Games!

Barents sports We are the largest people-to-people cooperation in Barents and a vibrant carrier of culture in the region. Sport is a model in this work. The ice has melted long ago and the east-west passage is open. History shows that the sport cooperation has been steady regardless of changes in climate.

Claes Gregart // International Coordinator

The Norwegian Barents Secretariat Barents Games is one of the most important arenas for people-to-people cooperation in the Barents region. The Norwegian Barents Secretariat is very glad to be a part of it and we are proud that our grants for sports cooperation every year ensure to bring more than 8 000 people together – to share the happiness of sport.

Golf On behalf of Finnish Golf association we like to thank Oulu Golfkerho for doing great work organizing golf tournament in Barents Games. For golf sports it is excellent that golf is part of Barents Games. It gives our sport a great possibility to grow in every part of northern Europe. To develop junior golf work in all northern countries we see it very important to have contacts for other nations, like in this Barents Games tournament.

Sankivaara Golf Center is build in the year 1992. There is 36 holes and one par 3 court.

We strongly believe that, in cooperation with the city of Oulu and our other partners, we have succeeded in organizing an outstanding event, which will serve as proof of the cooperation within the Barents region – in this instance, most importantly in the fields of sports and exercise!

SHARING THE ARCTIC SPIRIT

Welcome to the Barents family With projects within most areas of activity in the north, the portfolio of the Norwegian Barents Secretariat is impressive. The region was established as a peace project, and with strong memories of the atmosphere during the Barents Games in Oulu you have all seen that this goal is accomplished.

BUSINESS AS USUAL While political relations between Russia and Western Europe are on the freezing level, athletes from Russian, Finland, Sweden and Norway have gathered in Oulu for the biggest Barents Games ever. This is the key to the success of the Barents cooperation. When it comes to people-to-people cooperation in the Barents Region it has been business as usual also in the last two years, and we hope it will stay that way no matter what happens on future ministerial meetings.

For the Norwegian Barents Secretariat the aim is to develop good relations across borders in all areas of society. We do this by promoting and funding cooperation projects. Those who are part of projects like

the Barents Games are given the opportunity to meet people from other parts of the region and gain knowledge about their lives. Maybe these “other people” across the border aren´t that different anyway?

One thing is at least the same all over. We all love sports. Out of the around 200 cooperation projects we support every year, sports projects are the most frequent activity in our support list.

An equally important part of the Secretariat’s job is to act as a centre of competence on cross border relations. We guide all our project owners both in establishing contact with their partners and help them to develop good projects.

BARENTSOBSERVER.COM You can find all the information you need about the activities of the Barents Secretariat on our website Barents.no. There you will find both our project catalogue and information about other projects and activities where we participate. Like in the promotion of

Indigenous Peoples activities in the Barents Region or better communication across borders in all of Eastern Europe in the European Border Dialogues project.

A vital part of cooperation is knowledge, and knowledge comes through better information. That is why the Norwegian Barents Secretariat run their own news web site called BarentsObserver.com.

BarentsObserver.com is an open internet news service, which offers daily updated news from and about the Barents Region and the Arctic. The site presents news stories from the northern parts of all the four countries in the region: Russia, Norway, Sweden and Finland. We publish all news stories in English and Russian and in our archive you will find more than 15 000 news articles. A number which just keeps growing. When it comes to covering news from the entire Barents region there is probably now media that can match our product. So please use BarentsObserver. com if you need to know more about what is happening on the other side of your border.
