摘要:"FOR ME BORDERS MEAN , first of all, the possibilities to explore what is behind them, to learn more, to understand 'why.' and to find ways for interesting 'win- win' cooperative work with my colleagues in the Barents Region. I also love to travel across the Barents borders with my family – for example to stay for a couple of quiet days in a cottage in Finnish Salla. Thinking about borders as barriers, I have to admit that imaginary borders we construct in our heads are the highest 'separating walls' . These walls are usually made of stereotypes, lack of knowledge and information, deficit of cultural sensitivity and things like that
