Paper factory worker = Culture centre worker

Asya Filippova

One more special thing about us. All the people who worked in production of the papers stayed with us and still work at the factory despite the fact that we reduced our production. This people now do completely different kind of work, they take part in renovation of the buildings, in cleaning the territory and various stuff. They actually transformed to a workers than can do much more than only pushing the button on the machinery. For me it is very important thing because we could have fired this people but we found the way for them to stay here and I hope that they are satisfied with conditions we created for them. They have a job, a salary and they do not have to change their life or find a new way to exist. They are used to the factory and actually I think that this is one of main factors that helped us to be sustainable and successful. For the project that does not have a lot of funding, a lot of money from investors, it is very important to have a team which is dedicated to the work, which is enthusiastic and which is concerned about more than just money.
