Climate Crisis and Affect

Nordic Summit of Species

The Nordic Summit of Species is a two-day event (September 12-13, 2025) in Aarhus, Denmark bringing together civil society organisations that are advocating for rights and representation of nature. Each has their own approach to lending their voices to more-than-human agents. You will meet ambassadors for bumblebees and swans as well as artists, academics, and activists advocating for glaciers and rivers.

The Nordic Summit of Species features fourteen workshops by partner members, including Sound Ground (Daniela Amado), Listening Beyond Ourselves: Co-Creating a Songscape of Coexistence (Louise Permiin, Robert Rizzi, and Santiago Rueda-García), Ecosystems: Movement Workshop for Children (Sigrid Norheim Ørntoft and Vena Naskrecka), and eCo-Creative Writing across Languages and Ecologies (angela Snæfellsjökuls rawlings).
