The Residence Scholarship for the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland (Hälsingegårdar) was established in 2018 by the Regional Assembly of Gävleborg. The Scholarship is aimed at individuals who have an idea related to the UNESCO World Heritage List and who are interested in the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland in connection with other world heritage sites.
The World Heritage Scholarship is a residency that involves:
- The receiver staying and living in one or two World Heritage farms for a period of one month.
- A grant of 5000 € to carry out the idea/project in question.
- The scholarship is international and can be applied for by people from all over the world, such as researchers, artists or other cultural actors.
As a recipient of the scholarship, you have two farms to choose from: Kristofers in Järvsö or Erik-Anders in Söderala. You can only stay at the world heritage site Kristofers during the three summer months of June, July and August. It’s possible to stay at Erik-Anders between April and November.
