A CIRCUMPOLAR CULTURAL ODYSSEY

A CIRCUMPOLAR CULTURAL ODYSSEY
Nanoq is divided into 6 long journeys on the edge of the polar ice, starting in Thule in 2012 and ending in Alta, Norway in 2017. It is a tribute to the indigenous people of the Arctic and their intangible cultural heritage. The goal is to:
- Visit and link 100 schools in the Arctic together and through a series of public events raise awareness of intangible cultural heritage
- Document the contrasts in the social life, and sum up the prospects for cultural survival in Arctic villages
- Make people from all the villages sign a common statement towards politicians, scientists, environmentalists and corporate leaders who all share an interest in the Arctic
