Plan your visit
If you have not yet been visiting Sweden and the region of Jämtland or if you are coming from another continent, you may want to plan your travel and prolong your visit.
For CIRIEC events, it has been a tradition to plan and offer the participants an additional program including e.g. possibility to attend social and cultural events and visit the sights of the host region and country.
The City of Östersund and the County of Jämtland is well known for its long commitment and support to the Social Economy and its entrepreneurs. This becomes evident when you see the variety and scope of actors and activities in the region. You will have the possibility to meet with Social Economy entrepreneurs in our region, visit the sights of our beautiful landscape, attend to cultural events or even plan some adventure trip in the surroundings of Östersund.
The conference organisers will make available an additional pre-conference program, a special program for accompanying persons during the 2 conference days, as well as information about guided tours or other cultural events that you can book with the online-registration.
