The ship ‘TULU’ was the vessel for the Northern journey, that went from Nuuk to Kullorsuaq, where 13 inhabited places were visited, including the discontinued mining city, Qullissat.<\/p>\n

The journey lasted for 16 days, where most of the sailing was done during the night time. The ship would have arrived to the pier of the next city or settlement by morning, and we’d get two to three hours at each place to meet with the locals.<\/p>\n

Center for Arbejdsskader (center for work injuries) participated on the journey, and they were the ones, who had arranged the trip. Veterinary and food business, the Ombudsman of Inatsisartut and KNAPK also joined on the trip. While our travel companions used the local community centers to reach the locals, and tell them what they do, we at NAPA went and visited the schools.<\/p>\n

Here we told the schools about the many opportunities that the young had in the nordic fellowship, and we showed them our online educational materials, and how they could get in contact with friendship-classes through Norden i Skolen<\/a> and Nordplus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
A completely different Greenland<\/h5>\n

If you only live in one city throughout your life, without seeing the rest of the country that you live in, then it shouldn’t come as a surprise that you’d experience a cultural shock, when you finally get to see other regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was also the case for our intern, who’d only visited Ilulissat once when he was a kid, and South Greenland as a grown up. When ‘ TULU’ went past the Nuussuaq peninsula and reached Uummannaq, it was like arriving to a completely different arctic country.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The nature and culture was something else, but he did still recognize the faces.<\/p>\n

The difference only grew, the further north we travelled, but at the same time, the similarities only became clearer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We didn’t just visit 13 inhabited places, and told the locals of the many opportunities they had with NAPAs Culture Funding during our travels to North Greenland, we also had an opportunity to visit the mining city Qullissat, that was closed down in 1972, when<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
