Abstract:

​Læra Institute for Circumpo​​lar Education (Læra Institute) was established in 2020 to support and strengthen UArctic member capacity to deliver locally appropriate and pedagogically high-quality Circumpolar Studies programmes, without compromising their own academic flexibility.

The Læra Institute will renew and revitalise the UArctic Circumpolar Studies programme, not by updating centrally planned curricula, but by developing and maintaining a new ‘best-practice baseline’ for Circumpolar Studies.
