Sue Stockdale talks to Nauja Bianco, a native Greenlander about what life is like 'up north' and why cultural identity is becoming more important for Greenlanders and those living in the Nordic Countries.

Nauja Bianco was born and raised in the capital Nuuk, in Greenland. At the age of 17 she was an exchange student in the USA, followed by travels to Central and South America after graduating high school. In 1996, Nauja joined an expedition to Antarctica as part of a larger group of young people celebrating UNESCO’s 50th anniversary and putting focus on environmental protection, climate change, international cooperation as well as conflict resolution and peace. As a political science major, her career has been within government, diplomacy and international relations. She has worked for the Government of Greenland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the intergovernmental organization of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Nauja is currently an independent consultant running Isuma Consulting doing strategic advisory work within Arctic and Nordic affairs and is a freelance journalist and communications adviser. From August 2020 she will take up the post of Director of the Greenlandic House and Nordatlantic House in Odense, Denmark.
