About the Youth programme:  

Riddu Riđđu has worked for several years to strengthen interaction between young people from different indigenous groups through the youth programs. More than 500 indigenous youth from different parts of Sápmi, Russia, Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Latin America, New Zealand and elsewhere have participated over the years. We need art and cultural expressions as good meeting places for diversity, and RIDDU NUORAT / YOUTH / YOUTH contributes to both Sami and Indigenous Diversity. The project is arranged in parallel with Riddu Riđđu Festivála, which provides a good framework for the event, where the opportunity to experience many different cultural expressions is great and the experience of a larger cultural community helps to strengthen the intention of the project.  The project is supported by the Norwegian Barents Secretariat.
