On the 7th - 8th of October, The Wild North will host a workshop/seminiar in the Faroe Islands (Hotel Foroyar). The workshop, which is called "Handle with care" is built on a previous Northern Periphery project called Nature Based Tourism. Its objectives is to teach participants how to run sustainble nature based tourism companies. The seminar's instructors are Carol Patterson from Kalahari Managment and Dr. John Hull from John Hull Associates.

Dr. John Hull and Carol Patterson have worked together on numerous tourism projects in the North Atlantic. In 2002, they were both contracted to deliver a Nature-based Tourism Business Course for five years as part of the efforts of the Canadian Tourism Commission, Parks Canada, and the regional tourism industry associations in Atlantic Canada to promote environmentally friendly nature-based tourism in the region. Over 75 businesses participated in the program. They also recently completed the tourism plan for Northeast Iceland.

On the 6th of October The Wild North partners will have their annual partner meeting in Thorshavn.

Both meeting and seminar are sponsored by NORA (Nordisk Atlantsamarbejde) and NATA (North Atlantic Tourism Association)
