This report details the findings of the EQUIL project: Equality in Isolated Areas. The project focuses on people living and working in geographically relatively isolated areas of the Nordic region, and asks how they are able to make a living and maintain ties to locality, and how questions of gender equality impact on work and family life decisions. The report addresses the questions: How is gender equality and equal participation in paid work and care for the family negotiated in communities characterised by relative geographic isolation? How do people develop working life strategies in such places? What is the basis for future work life and family life in the selected places?

A clear review of current climate-related change.

Examination of the Arctic in the broader global context, illustrating its inextricable links to global processes.

Thanks to everyone in the towns and villages of Greenland we have visited from 2015-2019. It is their experiences we try to communicate to others, their creativity, input and intelligence that are at the heart of this book.

We write about what we have experienced and learned. About the collaborations, storytelling and creation of shared knowledge that has taken us on an enlightening journey into landscapes of warmth, joy, and shared goals.

We have seen what freedom, art and research can mean for individuals, whole communities and the society they are part of, a society that is ready to stand up for its rights and dreams for the future.
This is an open book.

It has a beginning, but no end ..
