The seminars are organised by the INCLUSION project which aims at strengthening cooperation between the Higher Education Institutions from Finland and Peru.

Indigenous Cultures in Evolution: Governing
Rights and Responsibilities through Sustainable Law and Ethics
(INCLUSION) is a two years’ project aiming at strengthening cooperation between the
Higher Education Institutions from Finland and Peru. 

Purpose is to promote education, teaching and learning on the law and
ethical issues at the crossroad of the regulation and governance of Indigenous
peoples’ rights to their culture, with particular focus on the digitisation of
Indigenous peoples’ cultural heritage and with a comparative analysis between the
Global North (Finland and the Sámi people) and the Global South (Peru and local
Indigenous peoples) approaches. Project is led by the Faculty of Law of the
University of Lapland.

Seminars take place at the University of
Lapland and the Arctic Centre on 9th and 10th of May 2023. Three distinguished
scholars from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP) will speak at the
seminars.

The seminars are organized in collaboration with the
