Att flytta hus är ingenting nytt🏘 Det har varit en vanlig syn för gällivarebor, nästan så länge vi kan minnas.

En husflytt innebär att viktiga kulturvärden bevaras för framtida generationer.

🇬🇧
In Gällivare, moving houses is as common as morning coffee. We’ve been doing it for as long as most people can remember. Malmberget, a town shaped by the mining industry, is amidst an impressive change. An entire community relocated to the nearby town of Gällivare. And these house relocations? It's not just bricks and beams in transit – it's the heartbeat of a community, carrying with it stories and memories of many generations.

Svanparken var under många år en självklar mötesplats i Malmberget.

Här samlades människor för att fira, dansa, umgås och skapa minnen tillsammans. Mitt i parken stod också en fontän skapad av konstnären Swan Carlson. Fontänen byggdes 1955 av stenar från olika delar av världen, bland annat Alaska, som en symbol för att hela världen hör ihop. 🌍Kanske är det just därför delar av Svanparken fått följa med in i nästa kapitel av vår historia.

När samhällen förändras handlar det inte bara om att flytta byggnader. Det handlar också om att bevara berättelserna, värderingarna och det som gjort platsen till vad den är.

I dag lever delar av Svanparken vidare i Sjöparken i Gällivare. Där hittar du den flyttade fontänen, den gamla cafébyggnaden och scenen. Välkända inslag som fått en ny plats men fortfarande bär med sig minnen från Malmberget

🇬🇧
For many years, Svanparken was a natural gathering place in Malmberget.

People came here to celebrate, dance, socialize and create memories together. At the heart of the park stood a fountain created by artist Swan Carlson. Built in 1955 from stones collected from different parts of the world, including Alaska, it symbolized the idea that the whole world is connected. 🌍 Perhaps that is why parts of Svanparken have been carried into the next chapter of our history.

When communities change, it is not only about moving buildings. It is also about preserving the stories, values and memories that have shaped a place and its people.

Today, parts of Svanparken live on in Sjöparken in central Gällivare. Here you can find the relocated fountain, the former café building and the stage – familiar landmarks that have found a new home while still carrying memories from Malmberget.

GälkaRun startade 2020, när många lopp runt om i landet ställdes in under pandemin.
Sedan dess har arrangemanget vuxit år för år och engagerat tusentals deltagare genom rörelseglädje, gemenskap och möjligheten att delta på sina egna villkor. 🏃
I den här filmen möter vi Emilia, initiativtagaren bakom GälkaRun. Hon berättar om det arbete och engagemang som ligger bakom arrangemanget, om stödet från samarbetspartners och om varför deltagarnas positiva respons gör att hon fortsätter, år efter år.
Det är lätt att ta vissa initiativ, aktiviteter, idrottscupper och arrangemang för givna, men bakom dem finns människor som Emilia, som väljer att lägga sin tid och energi på att få saker att hända för andra.

Det är värt ett extra tack. ❤️

🇬🇧
GälkaRun was founded in 2020, when many races across Sweden were cancelled during the pandemic. What started as a local initiative has grown year by year, inspiring thousands of people to get moving through exercise, community and the opportunity to participate on their own terms. 🏃
In this film, Emilia – the founder of GälkaRun – shares the story behind the event, the dedication required to make it happen and the support from partners and participants that keeps her motivated year after year.
The film is also a reminder of the importance of local engagement. Many of the activities, events and meeting places we enjoy exist thanks to people who choose to invest their time and energy in creating something for others.

That deserves a special thank you. ❤️
