Opening event of the Centre of Excellence for Multibeing Justice in Indigenous Societies

MultiBEING Centre of Excellence held its opening in the Sámi Cultural Center Sajos in Inari on March 30.

We met with our collaborators and planned our future research activities. The atmosphere at the opening was warm. Áilu Valle opened the event, after which our work package leaders shared their research plans. Thanks to everyone who attended in Sajos or via the stream! Thank you also to our collaborators Sámi oahpahusguovddáš (SOGSAKK) and Sámediggi for the meetings and research group for fruitful conversations. This creates an excellent basis for research on multibeing justice!
