Workshop: Respectful collaboration with Greenland’s arts and cultural community
The growing interest in Greenland is one the one hand opening up exciting opportunities for new partnerships and collaborations. But it also raises important questions about how these collaborations should be developed and carried out.
That is why it is important to discuss principles for good collaboration, based on respect for Greenlandic perspectives, experiences and culture.
Therefore, we are organizing two workshops to discuss what international partners need to know, understand and respect when planning arts and culture projects in Greenland.
Join a workshop!
If you are involved in arts or culture in any way, you are invited to join one of the workshops:

8 October 2026, 09:00–16:00, Hotel SØMA

“We want to collaborate, but on our own terms. It is important that people from outside Greenland respect our culture. It is also our responsibility to show them what Kalaallit/Inuit culture is. This will make it easier for different cultures to work together in Kalaallit Nunaat in the future.”
