Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is set to visit Greenland at the end of the month alongside her foundation, The Mary Foundation.
Crown Princess Mary will be in Greenland from 23-25 August in the capital of Nuuk. Her itinerary will focus on the challenges currently facing Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. All aspects of her programme are in line with the aims of the Mary Foundation.
Mary will visit the Children’s and Youth House Mælkebøtten and attend the conference “Together on Grief.” She will also take part in activities with a primary school class that have been organised by WWF World Nature Foundation.
The Crown Princess will also partake in the UNLEASH event, which is a global event organised to mobilise young talents in the areas of community management, problem-solving and social/environmental solutions. Young Arctic and Nordic people meet at the UNLEASH Innovation Lab to create ideas and solutions in line with the UN’s Global Goals.
Regarding this event, Her Royal Highness said: “Our generation of young people is enormously reflective, creative and full of empathy for each other. And they are deeply concerned with helping to solve the world’s problems. For the UNLEASH Innovation Lab in Nuuk, 200 young people will contribute concrete ideas and proposed solutions for how we overcome some of the biggest and most central challenges the world is facing. The young people have so much to offer, and I am looking forward to being allowed to gain an insight into their work.”
She will also give a short speech at the event and later visit UNICEF Greenland.
The Crown Princess is not expected to be joined by her husband, Crown Prince Frederik, or any of their four children, who have begun their autumn semesters in school.
Further details about her two-day trip to Greenland will be announced later.
