This October a journey to the northern village of Kullorsuaq marked a significant milestone our Mona who took on a journey with Foreningen Grønlandske Børn. The mission was to collaborate with the local community in establishing a sustainable framework for future initiatives, an extension of the successful summer camps they have held for several years.

Cultivating Local Leadership
The engagement was centered around a series of community meetings, where powerful effects of local involvement were evident. Some of the local volunteers demonstrated remarkable leadership and took charge of the community meeting that was initiated. During the meeting the participants actively identified challenges and collaboratively brainstormed potential solutions for community improvement.

A Community's Vision
The dedication of Kullorsuaq's community shone through as they shared a collective vision for their future. They discussed various community-driven goals, from ensuring no child goes hungry to creating safe spaces for play and family engagement.

Strategic Planning for Community Goals
The group's proactive nature was evident as they outlined actionable steps toward achieving these goals, which included the utilisation of local resources and the engagement of volunteers. The community decided to implement a monthly family activity, fostering an ongoing commitment to communal well-being.

Reflections and Future Directions
We return from Kullorsuaq with a wealth of insights and a reinforced commitment to support the community's aspirations. The information gathered will serve as a baseline for developing initiatives that are truly reflective of and responsive to the community's needs.
