The Duodji Akademiija 2027 project will organise a workshop seminar at Hetta
The Duodji Akademiija 2027 project will organise a workshop seminar at Hetta School on June 6, 2026. The theme is the vitality of the duodji tradition.
The seminar will discuss the situation of duodji in Enontekiö (Finland), Karesuando (Sweden), and Kautokeino (Norway), and share ideas on how duodji can be strengthened in these areas.
The aim of the day is to bring together duodji practitioners, people interested in duodji, youth, and duodji organisations for networking and discussion about the future of duodji. The day will conclude with a duodji workshop.
Interpretation will be provided in Northern Sámi, Finnish, and a Scandinavian language (“Sworsk”).
A more detailed program for the day will be published later.

Duodji Akademiija 2027
Duodji Akademiija 2027 is a project aimed at preserving, strengthening, and promoting the Sámi handicraft tradition, duodji. The project’s activities focus on the areas of Enontekiö (Finland), Kautokeino (Norway), and Karesuando (Sweden), but its impact extends across the wider Sápmi region, encouraging communities beyond these core areas to sustain and develop their own craft traditions. The project brings together key stakeholders connected to duodji to engage in dialogue, collaborate, and build the future of Sámi handicraft. It also enhances the appreciation of duodji both among Sámi people and more broadly.
