This document outlines plans to export the GFP peer support model from Finland to other European countries from 2013-2018. The Dynamo project will first survey the possibilities of implementing GFP in Sweden and the Netherlands in 2013. If successful, local culture houses providing GFP-guided peer support and rehabilitation will be established in these countries from 2014-2018, funded by the EU and cities. This aims to provide free access to rehabilitation while saving money for societies and increasing markets for Finnish products and innovations in health culture across Europe.
