NAPA's Cultural Support Program
NAPA supports the Greenlandic and Nordic cultural life through two programs: Travel support and project support.
NAPA distributes approximately DKK 3 million annually in support of cultural projects.
NAPA’s Cultural Support Program supports cultural projects with Nordic relevance in Greenland and the Nordic countries. We have a special focus on projects that involve and engage children and young people and focus on sustainability.
The Cultural Support Program prioritises projects that facilitate co-operation, co-creation and exchange across national borders in the Nordic region.
We support cultural projects and travel that:
- Activate children and young people
- Are sustainable
- Have Nordic relevance
- Has Greenlandic or Nordic actors and/or applicants
- If you want to know more, please contact:
- NAPA
- napa@napa.gl
To apply for support, you must be resident in the Nordic countries.
We do not support operations, but we de support the established cultural life. In that case, with a new perspective.
We support both professionals, semi-professionals and amateurs, and part of our funds also goes to the department’s own projects. In this connection, we are always interested in new partners and inspiration.
The Nordic countries are: Denmark, Sweden, Åland, Norway, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. In addition, NAPA also supports projects in collaboration with the Baltics as well as focus on our neighbors in the west, Canada and Alaska.
