Nordic Culture Point is one of the main instruments used by the Nordic Council of Ministers to pursue its priorities for cultural co-operation in the period 2013– 2020. Nordic Culture Point (NCP) serves as a focal point for Nordic culture and for enhancing the sense of Nordic cultural affinity in Finland and elsewhere in the Nordic region. NCP’s funding programmes contribute to the ongoing rejuvenation of Nordic and Nordic/Baltic cultural co-operation. NCP is responsible for the narrative and profile of Nordic cultural partnerships in the Region and beyond.
Nordic Culture Point plays a strong and innovative role in culture and works with the whole of the Region as its platform. It commenced it activities in 2012 following a merger of the Nordic Institute in Finland (Nifin) and the body that formerly operated under the name of Nordic Culture Point.
