Dear YLIBèrs

Welcome to Alta

Here you’ll find the YLIB-program and other practical information to help you make the most of your stay.

YLIB Norway has created the program with Odd-Martin as the mail planner.

Most of you will arrive on Wednesday, and a program has been set up until Sunday - where you join the Guest-program from friday afternoon.

The heart of this event lies beyond the guest-program — out on the many arenas of Alta where 10 different sports are arranged. You have helped us with some of the planning, now it is time to se Barents Games IRL. You will experience the joy of sports and the powerful sense of unity that defines the Barents region - and you will see and learn about arranging big sports events.

We hope you have an unforgettable stay — filled with inspiration, connections, and the true spirit of the North!
