Conference on Arctic heritage and tourism – Nuuk, Greenland 14th September, 2016
The preliminary program will be available in July. The conference will take place at Ilisiamatusarfik, University of Greenland. The participation is free.
Local communities have an artistic, cultural and linguistic heritage which is often unknown outside the Arctic region. The changes taking place in these societies, however, have a major impact on this heritage.
Whether it be language transfer, global warming, the impact of tourism on artistic production, customer or traditional arts and crafts, local communities must re-examine their heritage in a globalized Arctic.
Due to this exceptional location, small population and unique linguistic space, Greenland is the perfect setting for discussions on changes in its inhabitants’ traditional heritage.
