Festspelen i Piteå - Piteå – a human rights city and sanctuary for artistic freedom

As a Human Rights City, Piteå stands up for human rights and offers a haven for artists who cannot work freely in their home countries. It is an obvious part of the municipality's vision – to be Sweden's best place to live, also for those seeking security, freedom of expression and the opportunity to create.

Hear Helena Stenberg from the Norrbotten Rights Centre, Kristina Englund, sanctuary coordinator in Piteå and Kata Nilsson, municipal councillor for Piteå Municipality, talk about the municipality's work with human rights and the sanctuary program.
