ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE AUTHORS 265 An anthology on informally acquired skills in Greenland____________ 2 PERSPECTIVES ON SKILLS 1. INTRODUCTION Greenland is a unique place that offers a lot of possibilities for sustaining a good life. The Greenland society offers most of the population good lives and the vast majority of Greenlanders self-report leading good lives. However, a large minority is challenged by unemployment and lack of education. Some of this is based in social and health problems, but this group also includes very competent, skillful and well- functioning people. Their problem is, that their skills are acquired in informal ways and for that reason invisible and un-recognized by the job market. The lack of appreciation of the qualifications of this group constitutes a great loss of value to society and to the individual. The aim of this anthology is to shed light on the phenomenon of informally acquired skills, on ways to document and map these skills within the Greenlandic society, and find means to release this vast potential for the benefit of both the persons involved and the society in general. It is a collection of articles, perspectives and points of views on the thematics of knowledge-development, education and skills in a Greenlandic context. But it started out as something completely different: As a breakout session on the possibilities for Arctic youth in a globalized world at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik in 2015. The goal of the session was to gather participants from all over the Arctic for a discussion on how to approach the fact that many young people in the Arctic do not acquire a formal education. In a world which is characterized by an increasing demand for highly skilled labour and people with formal qualifications this of course poses a problem for the individual as well as for the Arctic societies who have a low degree of formally educated people in their populations. For the sake of a focused discussion we decided to take our point of departure in Greenland and focus on the Greenlandic population as a case, hoping that the conclusions we would draw from the breakout session would also be relevant to other Arctic nations. In order to feed the discussion and to be able to discuss with a point of An anthology on informally acquired skills in Greenland____________ 3 PERSPECTIVES ON SKILLS departure in available facts, we decided to make an enlarged fact-sheet describing the current situation in Greenland. We called the small publication “Everybody on board” in order to indicate the individual as well as societal importance of including all competences in Greenland no matter whether they have a formal education or not. The baseline of the work is that all people have some kind of skills. In Greenland – and in many other Arctic countries – however there is a rather large group of people who do not have a formal education and thus have lesser opportunities in life. But they still have skills: Some are specialists in hunting or fishing, some are skilled handicraft people and some are artists without a formal educational paper to prove it. Some of these people might be perfectly content with their situation. They get by on a subsistence economy, navigating in an informal economy. But some might be interested in having a job on a formal labour market but not be able to market themselves because of their lack of documentation for their skills. They might be further challenged because they do not wish – or are able to – continue in a formal educational system. This situation made us think about if it would be possible to make better matches and include more people. Many attempts are made in Greenland and other countries in the Arctic in order to amend the lack of education: Incentives for further education are established, internships and vocational training courses are offered etc. But there is still a need to look at how to include people who are outside of these systems. Either because they do not wish to be part of them or because they are not able to. Would it be possible to set up a system to “capture” the skills that these people posses? What do we actually know about how skills are perceived and used in Greenland? What do we know about the causes leading up to the current situation? Could inspiration be found in other parts of the world? Method The present anthology is an attempt to look at these possibilities and challenges from a multidisciplinary angle. 20 company- or organisation representatives and An anthology on informally acquired skills in Greenland____________ 4 PERSPECTIVES ON SKILLS researchers have agreed to contribute with their specific angle on the matter of informally acquired skills in Greenland. The articles have been peer reviewed within the group of authors. Some have written their articles from a practical perspective and some from a theoretical perspective. Some have their roots in the Greenlandic society while others have their roots in a research on the matter. All have agreed to participate here with their specific take on the question we asked them: How to investigate the understanding of skills and become better at using and recognizing informally acquired skills in order to maintain a sustainable development and provide opportunities for everyone to pursue their own choices in life. The perspectives and theoretical standpoints of the authors varies a great deal and it is not possible – nor is it the intention – to derive a single conclusion from the chapters. On the contrary is it our hope that the many different viewpoints can spark fruitful reflections on this important matter. The different approaches in the articles contain elements and approaches which can be described as puzzle solving, critique, balance and interference (Description borrowed from Ren, Petersen and Dregde in Valuation Studies 3(2) 2015: 85–96. http://valuationstudies.liu.se). Puzzle-solving seeks to find the missing piece in the jigsaw. It asks: What is the missing (technical) fact? Puzzle-solving, does not engage in discussing the values of recognizing informally acquired skills, but is merely concerned with facts: what will this cost, what will we gain, is it worth it—and how to measure all of this in the best possible way? Another approach, that of critique, is not so interested in the facts. Indeed, facts are taken to be more or less clear. Critique is interested in values. And it states that the present values have gone wrong. The third approach – balance – deals with how for instance economic and cultural concerns relate. What matters within balance is “the making of balance between An anthology on informally acquired skills in Greenland____________ 5 PERSPECTIVES ON SKILLS things that won’t add up in a nice convergent way, that refuse to be located within a single calculus of either facts or values”. Finally the approach of interference can also be found in this anthology – and in the synthesis report derived from here: Researchers interact with the subject of research. They recognize that realities are done differently in different practices with an aim of “interfering and making a difference” . It is our hope that the many insights shared in this anthology will provide inspiration for further work. A synthesis report with the title “Sitting on gold” interprets the articles in this anthology. The report can – along with this book – be downloaded at www.greenlandperspective.dk. An anthology on informally acquired skills in Greenland____________ 6 PERSPECTIVES ON SKILLS 2. DEFINING SKILLS A better understanding of how to use and recognize informally acquired skills obviously requires a definition of what they are and why it is relevant to talk about them. The articles in this section provide a framework for talking about skills. The article “Informally acquired skills – what and why” draws on the other chapters in this anthology in order to establish a definition of the concept of informally acquired skills and why it is important to talk about this type of skills.

  • Rationalité Et Lien Social Chez Les Dirigeants D'entreprise Du Groenland: Modernité, Néo-Libéralisme Et Capitalisme
    ALEXANDRE MORIN RATIONALITÉ ET LIEN SOCIAL CHEZ LES DIRIGEANTS D'ENTREPRISE DU GROENLAND: MODERNITÉ, NÉO-LIBÉRALISME ET CAPITALISME Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l’Université Laval pour l’obtention du grade de maître ès arts (M.A.) Département de sociologie FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES SOCIALES UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL JUILLET 2001 © Alexandre Morin, 2001 RÉSUMÉ Ce mémoire porte sur la rationalité des dirigeants d’entreprise du Groenland. L’analyse est basée sur des entrevues effectuées auprès des acteurs de l’industrie alimentaire. Les valeurs préconisées dans le discours dominant révèlent une idéologie capitaliste et néo-libérale. Entre autres, l’intervention de l’État dans l’économie est vue comme un obstacle au développement économique, tant chez les dirigeants d’entreprise du secteur gouvernemental que privé. Il en découle un lien social typiquement moderne, compte tenu que les actions des individus sont motivées rationnellement vers une quête de rentabilité qui importe avant toute chose. Ainsi, la social-démocratie (nivellement des conditions de vie par l’État) et certaines valeurs traditionnelles (nourriture inuite de l’époque nomade) sont moins considérées, car elles ne favorisent pas la profitabilité. Cette logique d’action résulte de transformations sociohistoriques données, où la pénétration du capitalisme dans les rapports sociaux a modernisé le Groenland depuis sa colonisation par les Danois. Alexandre Morin Gérard Duhaime (Candidat) (Directeur de recherche) ii REMERCIEMENTS Tout d’abord, je remercie ma famille, Richard, Micheline et Dominique, dont le support inconditionnel fut un point d’appui extraordinaire. Je suis également plus que reconnaissant envers Stéphanie, qui a permis un échange fécond et précieux à ce genre d’entreprise.

  • Linguistic Landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, Signs, Multilingual, Urban, Minority, Indigenous
    The linguistic landscape of Nuuk, Greenland Abstract The purpose of this article is to present and analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Nuuk is a trilingual environment including the indigenous language (West Greenlandic), the former colonial language (Danish), and the global language (English). West Greenlandic is a somewhat unusual case among indigenous languages in colonial and postcolonial settings because it is a statutory national language with a vigorous use. Our analysis examines the use of West Greenlandic, Danish, and English from the theoretical perspective of centre vs. periphery, devoting attention to the primary audiences (local vs. international) and chief functions (informational vs. symbolic) of the signs. As the first investigation into the Greenlandic linguistic landscape, our analysis can contribute to research on signs in urban multilingual indigenous language settings. Keywords: linguistic landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, signs, multilingual, urban, minority, indigenous 1. Introduction The purpose of our study is to analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Scholarly enquiry into the linguistic landscape seeks to ascertain the practices and ideologies relating to the language appearing in public spaces. The public spaces included in this type of analysis consist of official signs (e.g. traffic signs, street names, government notices), private signs (e.g. shop names, private business signs, personal ads), graffiti, food packaging, notes, discarded items, and moving signs on buses or t-shirts (see e.g. see Gorter, 2006; Shohamy & Gorter, 2009; Jaworski & Thurlow, 2010). The dynamic, constantly mediated multimodal linguistic landscape gives space its meaning and interacts with the built environment (Moriarty, 2014a).

    West Greenland Commission WGC(15)3 Report of the Inter-sessional Meeting of the West Greenland Commission WGC(15)3 Report of the Inter-sessional Meeting of the West Greenland Commission Hotel Hans Egede, Nuuk, Greenland 24 - 26 February 2015 1. Opening of the Meeting 1.1 The Chairman of the West Greenland Commission (WGC), Mr Ted Potter (European Union), opened the meeting and welcomed participants from the Member Parties and accredited NGOs (Annex 1). He referred to the previous valuable exchanges of information at the Commission’s meetings in 2014 and noted that it had been agreed that States of origin would share experiences with Greenland on approaches to improving the monitoring of landings with a view to ensuring full reporting. An Ad hoc Working Group had been established inter alia to recommend options to enhance the monitoring and control of the West Greenland salmon fishery. He thanked the Group and Denmark (in respect of the Faroe Islands and Greenland) for preparing a Draft Plan to implement the Group’s recommendations. He indicated that over the two days available to it, the Commission needed to review events in the 2014 fishery at West Greenland, discuss the Draft Plan for enhanced monitoring and management of the salmon fishery at West Greenland, consider how the six tenets of effective management of an Atlantic salmon fishery might be applied to an evaluation of the salmon fisheries of other Parties and establish, at a minimum, a framework or parameters for the development of a new agreement taking into consideration the Draft Plan developed by Denmark (in respect of the Faroe Islands and Greenland).
