Nadezhda Karakchieva told about a weaving workshop in the Kozhmudor village of Ust-Vymsky District during the round table. The participants from the Priluzsky District really enjoyed this initiative and six months later they created their own weaving workshop. It’s great that the meeting in the Silver Taiga Foundation served as the only reason for this. All Foundation activities are intended to develop cooperation between local communities and it’s pleased to realize that it is bearing fruit.
