Indigenous peoples’ rights – part 1

Indigenous Cultures in Evolution: Governing Rights and Responsibilities through Sustainable Law and Ethics (INCLUSION) is a two years’ project aiming at strengthening cooperation between the Higher Education Institutions from Finland and Peru. 

Purpose is to promote education, teaching and learning on the law and ethical issues at the crossroad of the regulation and governance of Indigenous peoples’ rights to their culture, with particular focus on the digitisation of Indigenous peoples’ cultural heritage and with a comparative analysis between the Global North (Finland and the Sámi people) and the Global South (Peru and local Indigenous peoples) approaches. Project is led by the Faculty of Law of the University of Lapland.

Seminars take place at the University of Lapland and the Arctic Centre on 9th and 10th of May 2023. Three distinguished scholars from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP) will speak at the seminars.

The seminars are organized in collaboration with the UArctic Law Thematic Network and the UArctic Chair in Arctic Legal Research and Education. The seminars are open for all.
