Arctic Speaker Series

Each year, AINA hosts the Arctic Speaker Series where we invite local and international speakers to the University of Calgary to give talks on a wide variety of topics. Many of these talks have been recorded and are available to watch on our YouTube channel.

Arctic in the Classroom

Throughout the year AINA researchers visit elementary school classrooms across southern Alberta to help children explore the Arctic and Inuit culture through Inuit artifacts.

*This program is temporarily suspended but we look forward to reinstating it as soon as possible. Please contact us if you have any questions about the work our Arctic in the Classroom ambassadors carry out.
