Vágur is the only place on the Faroes island where the population grew between 2013 in 2018 and was higher than the average for the Faroe Islands as a whole. But before this period, Vágur faced a lot of challenges: declining population, bad reputation, lack of jobs.
The way towards better times was not easy. But municipality managed to solve many of problems and now is counting a positive change of migration and population, inclusive approaches to (re)building a sense of community, and the stimulation of new economic activity.
