Nation Innovation
Nation Innovation – exploring society
The theme package explores the caracteristics of the Greenlandic society:
How does the Greenlandic society define itself and its position in the world – and as (a current) part of the Danish Kingdom? What are the specific needs in terms of infrastructure, economy, culture, language, media etc.? What are the similarities and differences between the Greenlandic society and other comparable societies? And which resources in the Greenlandic society could be a model for societal innovation?
Informally Aquired Skills

The project focuses on informally acquired skills in Greenland. What kind of informally acquired skills does the Greenlandic population possess? How can these informally acquired skills be recognized and how can this recognition make way for broadening the palette of opportunities for especially young people living in the Arctic?
