Saami Council publishes fact sheets on Sámi Issues
You’ll find the fact sheet on energy development on Sámi territory further down in the article
The Saami Council has published fact sheets about Sámi issues and society as a part of a larger project “Support to awareness raising about the Saami” funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
– The main objective of the project is to find ways and means on how to raise awareness about the Sámi people within the EU institutions. This includes both capacity building activities such as fact sheets, cooperation and information sharing with relevant stakeholders but also to build strong and resilient partnerships with EU institutions, says Elle Merete Omma, head of the EU unit of the Saami Council.
The fact sheets center around general information on the Sámi people and Sámi society, but focus also on current topics such as how energy policy affects Sámi territories and Sámi rights.
– Our hope is that these fact sheets will directly contribute to increasing awareness and knowledge about the Sámi people and our interests among EU officials, in EU institutions and in decision making processes within the EU system, says Omma.
The fact sheets are available online, and you can find them here:
