Description: Rural decline is a common phenomenon in urbanizing and developed countries. The Village Action Movement in Finland demonstrates that this is not an inevitable conclusion. 2800 villages, affecting the lives of 500,000 people have undertaken to make their villages viable and vibrant communities through projects of culture, leisure, communications, services, housing and economic development. They have overcome passivity, re-evaluated their priorities and chosen to emphasize their culture and build a rural lifestyle which is self-reliant and community based. The Village Action Association of Finland (in Finnish: Suomen Kylätoiminta ry or SYTY) promotes and develops village action and locally initiated rural development on the national level. The Village Action Association of Finland is an umbrella organisation for regional actors in rural development. Residents' Associations, village coalitions, LAGs and national central organisations are members of the Village Action Association. 2013 the Association has more than 130 member organisations.
