Conference
Conference
On June 5th 2023, Naleraq will host the conference “Nunarput – Land Back” in Katuaq, Nuuk. The conference will center on colonialism, decolonization, Inuit self-determination, Inuit mental health, Inuit businesses and Greenland’s independence. The purpose of the conference is to give citizens, researchers, professionals and politicians the opportunity to meet, discuss and share knowledge and experiences on the topics.
The topics mentioned above are neglected by successive governments in Greenland, especially from the largest parties as well as various institutions. To counter the neglect, Naleraq has chosen to organize this conference to create a space for dialogue and knowledge-sharing for all interested parties.
The conference will be held in Greenlandic and English and will be open and free for all to attend.
Conference host: Qupanuk Olsen
Panel moderator: Juno Berthelsen
The conference will be livestreamed on Facebook and Youtube (press link)
