I don’t often post photos of other people, and certainly not kids, but these “kids” are adults in their twenties now, so I’m going for it! The first day of school in Greenland is a seriously important day.
The girls wear custom sewn traditional clothes, and the boys wear smart smocks and trousers. You won’t need to eat for a month after visiting all the kaffemik hosted by the proud parents sending their first year kids to school.
The mothers and women connected to the family wear traditional costume too.
Big day!

Wonderful costumes. They must feel very proud.
Yep! Just like it round my way. Mums wearing traditional costume…Black Sabbath t shirts and ripped jeans!🤣
I hadn’t thought it of like that – the difference between first day of school in different cultures. But now that you mention it… 🙂
