The World Heritage Residence/Scholarship

The World Heritage Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland International Scholarship and Residency (World Heritage Scholarship) is aimed at professional artists, cultural practitioners and researchers who want to develop an artistic or research idea that connects the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland to one or more other World Heritage Sites on the UNESCO list.

The scholarship is awarded to the applicant who shows in the clearest, most relevant and feasible way how the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland relate to other World Heritage Sites in the spirit of UNESCO, for example through cultural heritage, conservation, universal value, cultural meetings or knowledge exchange.
