The winter school is led by Arctic State Agrotechnological University and co-organized by Northern Forum international organization, Arctic State Institute of Culture and Arts, Churapchinskiy State Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Department of Northern Studies (NEFU).

Description: Traditional diets have transformed dramatically in the Arctic and the North. It is necessary to understand the impact of these transformations in regards to both human health and culture. Arctic food knowledge largely consists of Indigenous knowledge on collection, preservation and joint consumption of food. Knowledge of food and its sources is vital for keeping and restoring Indigenous cultures, health and well-being. We invite everyone interested to participate in the Arctic Food Knowledge Winter School.
