Prof. Helena Ranta (known for leading the international delegation after the Bosnian war) will lead the discussion.

– The evening before, Friday 28 August at 19, the internationally breaking-through duo Vildá will start the mini festival at Hetta School Hall. Their program consists of new music based on Sámi yoik tradition, composed by the Sámi singer Hilda Länsman and accordionist Viivi Saarenkylä.
