Towards Reconciliation brought together well-known public figures to read aloud the final report of the Sámi Truth and Reconciliation Commission on the Main Stage of the Finnish National Theatre on 4–6 December 2025. The three-day event was part of the Towards Reconciliation collaboration convened by the Baltic Circle festival in cooperation with the Sámi Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The festival invited arts professionals to explore the question of what cultural reconciliation with the Sámi people means for Finnish cultural institutions.



During the first day of the event, numerous expert talks were presented, and in a panel discussion the parliamentary parties were challenged to commit to the proposals and recommendations made by the Commission. The program then continued with a collective public reading of the report, voiced by Sámi readers and well-known Finnish figures over the following event days.

Large-scale multi-camera production streamed live to Yle Areena

DC Events delivered a total of more than 15 hours of streaming as a multi-camera production using two operated cameras and four robotic cameras. An additional challenge for the production was the tight schedule of the Main Stage, which required the streaming equipment to be cleared away for evening performances.

Readers also participated in real time via a two-way live remote connection from the Sámi Museum Siida in Inari.

The event was streamed live on Yle Areena, where it has already accumulated more than 25,000 starts. In addition, excerpts from the recording are being used as part of the Sámi exhibition at the Helsinki City Museum.
