The project brings together two established projects—one from northern Norway, the other from Greenland—that studied ageing in Arctic and in coastal communities in multiple contexts and using various tools. The combined project looks at what the individual projects can take from each other in the long term, and at which of their lessons can be applied elsewhere in the region. At the same time, interested parties will be invited to collaborate across the entire NORA area. The project’s goal is to improve our understanding of how the elderly experience winter, and the impact roads, weather conditions and other factors have on healthy and independent ageing, as well as on quality of life in general. In addition, the project will hold workshops and other informational and knowledge-sharing events.
