At Nord55°, we believe in speaking plainly. In challenging one another. And, not least, in putting important issues up for debate.
Join us for NORD 55°’s annual flagship event.
KulturytringDrammen June 21st-23rd, 2027
Nord55° will take part in the Norwegian festival Kulturytring at Union Brygge in Drammen. The festival is, in many ways, Norway’s equivalent of Denmark’s Kulturmøde Mors.
Kulturytring aims to raise the profile of arts and culture as an important area of public policy and as a driving force for social development. It does so through informed and relevant contributions, debates and discussions.
Kulturytring enjoys broad support across Norway and is the country’s largest cultural festival, bringing together 230 organisations and 5,500 participants in 2025. It attracts artists of all kinds from Norway and across the Nordic region, as well as researchers, politicians and opinion leaders.
The festival also has a dedicated youth programme, with delegations of young people from across the country.
Once again, Nord55° is ready to put important issues up for debate with leading voices from across the Nordic region.
More information to follow.
Finland in SpringHelsinki, 26 April 2027
Democracy cannot be outsourced. A sense of community does not emerge on its own. If the Nordic region is to serve as a democratic counterweight in a world marked by division, algorithms and narrow national perspectives, we must build that community together.
On 26 April 2027, NORD55° LIVE, in collaboration with the Amos Rex Foundation, will bring together researchers, artists, journalists, politicians, thinkers, writers and representatives of civil society to challenge conventional thinking and set a new Nordic agenda.
