Dear Minister of Culture, It is our great pleasure to invite you to Bodø on 10 August, during Nordland Music Festival 2022, to give the opening speech of our one-day conference on the future of cultural exchange and mobility in Northern Europe. The conference is part of a festival programme with a series of artistic comments on the current situation in Ukraine, including concerts with the Kyiv Soloists, who are at the moment temporarily engaged by Bodø2024 and the Arctic Philharmonic. We believe the perspective of our friends and colleagues in Estonia would be a great frame for the conference, because of your competency on the topic, but also because of our close collaboration with Estonia and Tartu 2024, European Capital of Culture. Gro Bergrabb Henrik S. Dagfinrud Director Programme director Nordland Music Festival Bodø2024
