About the podcast
Nature is the basis of our lives. It is crucial for a sustainable future, both in relation to the environment and climate change, but also in relation to the well-being of people and the society. With the project Nordic Nature Narratives, we wanted to find out how to strengthen the understanding of nature’s role in sustainable development.
Our starting point was the view on nature from people in the Nordic countries and the Arctic region. Nature plays an important role in the Nordic and Arctic identity, but the relationship and view on nature can vary between countries, cultures, professions, and generations. In the project, we wanted to embrace this diversity.
We wanted to show the connection and intertwining between nature and people. We wanted to understand how nature affects human well-being and the feeling of community.
We hope that the stories told in this podcast inspire and motivate you to work for a sustainable future.
The project was supported by Nordic Culture Contact, NAPA, Alta Kommune (Alta Municipality) and Sønderjysk Kulturfællesskab (the cultural cooperation programme of Southern Jutland).
