What a week – Giellavahkku 2025!

What a week – Giellavahkku 2025!

Giellavahkku has come to an end for this year, and what a beautiful week it has been!
This year’s program was packed with events – both here at the Center for Northern Peoples and throughout the municipality. With author visits, theatre performances, concerts, film screenings, and much more, the week was filled with both laughter and reflection, learning and inspiration.

The local schools were especially engaged in this year’s Giellavahkku, and there were activities taking place all across the municipality. We’ve had the pleasure of sharing their experiences and joy, which we will carry with us in our continued work.
If you’d like a glimpse into this year’s Giellavahkku, here’s a brief summary of the week’s highlights.

A week filled with language, culture, and meaningful encounters between people.
