Raad van de Raaf

What is there to see?

Raad van de Raaf

In Raad van de Raaf, children will get to know Raymi (Dutch) and Ivalu (Greenlandic). They are part of the Raad van de Raaf, a group of children dedicated to climate action and a healthy planet. You’ll discover how indigenous communities in Greenland, Peru, Morocco, and Bangladesh experience and cope with the daily impacts of the climate crisis. 

Greenland Headquarters

Ivalu guides you through her homeland, Kalaallit Nunaat, "Land of the Greenlanders." There, you will see a picturesque yet rugged Greenlandic landscape with its steep cliffs, arctic flowers, ice floes, and wild hills. You can hop on Malik's dog sledge, take a balance test in hunter Lars's kayak, and listen to the sounds of the melting glacier. You will also engage with the stories of Greenlandic filmmaker Aká Hansen. 

Raymi introduces you to indigenous communities in Peru, Morocco, and Bangladesh. They share in personal video portraits how they coexist with their environment and cope with the effects of climate change. From alpacas and melting glaciers in Peru to desertification in Morocco and salinisation in Bangladesh.

Collaborations

Contemporary art plays a key role in the exhibition. For instance, Greenlandic artist Bolatta Silis Høegh has created a special artwork for this exhibition. There are also objects from present-day Greenland on display. Films by Greenlandic filmmaker Aká Hansen, photographer Nicole Franken, and journalist Yvonne Dudock from Indigenous People Today tell deeply personal stories. 

Wereldmuseum Junior (formerly Tropenmuseum Junior) has been successfully creating children’s exhibitions for nearly 50 years. It offers an appealing museum concept (seeing, touching, experiencing and participating). Visit and experience the newest Junior exhibition starting December 14, 2024.
