REPORTAGE
Local sports keep rural communities alive
For nearly a hundred years, soccer has been played in Ostvik and Drängsmark. Keeping the club running means mowing grass, brewing coffee, and making football happen – all on a volunteer basis.
“We do it together. It works in a village,” says Ulrica Marklund, the club’s youth coordinator.

In the upholsterer's workshop
Staples, horsehair, webbing, hand stitching and piping. Words that evoke an old-fashioned workshop, yet remain an essential part of an upholsterer’s everyday work. In the small village of Lund, just outside Skellefteå, Anki Lundmark runs Möbelstudion, where worn and forgotten pieces of furniture are given a new lease of life.
