Letter of intent on Sámi initiative | 2022 |
In a joint letter of intent, Mid Sweden University and the Gaaltije Foundation declare their desire to establish a Sami research and education center in southern Saepmie.
Ahead of the celebration of the Sami National Day on 6 February, the new letter of intent is published.
The text states, among other things, that Mid Sweden University's intention is "to develop research and education for Sami issues at Mid Sweden University and thus also strengthen the university's role as a university in the middle of the Sami area and at the same time contribute to strengthening the position of the South Sami community both in Sweden and in Saepmie."
Listen to Vice-Chancellor Anders Fällström and Jerker Bexelius, Head of Operations at the Gaaltije Foundation, tell us more about what the letter of intent entails.
