Founded in 1995, this regional sports federation brings together clubs, municipalities, educational institutions and other organisations in Lapland. It provides expert services and training for coaches, instructors and club managers. Courses for early childhood educators and teachers support physical activity among children and young people.
Its work also includes projects encouraging activity among adults and older people. Barents Urheilu arranges international sports exchanges in neighbouring countries for ages 15–25. The federation's board represents Lapland's sub-regions.
