A Tour of the Nordic Countries – Conflict Resolution, Knots and Artwork

Nordic tour 2014 is an investigation of the family field in the Nordic countries. The goal is to inspire the societies to a zero-tolerance for violence approach with a sex and gender awareness and with a recognition and respect for the important role of the reproductive aspects.

At planned symposiums, meetings and through digital contact, knowledge was shared and experiences gathered. Furthermore, Nordic Tour 2014 helped provide inspiration for further action.

Here are glimpses from the atmosphere and reports from the 5 different Nordic countries that the tour visited in the period 9th-19th of September 2014.
