About Sámi Teáhter Searvi
Sámi Teámi Searvi (STS) is an association dedicated to uniting and supporting Sámis working within theater and performing arts and provides several funds and scholarships. STS is also member of the Sámi Artists Council, working alongside the Sámi Parliament in Norway to agree on the financial framework for associations, funds, scholarships, and other incentives that are in the best interest of Sámi artists.
