Since 2006, NCK’s Pedagogical Prize has been awarded to any person or institution that has made outstanding contributions to the field of heritage learning in the Nordic/Baltic region.

NCK’s board appoints the award winner based on the nominations. The prize is awarded during NCK’s Spring Conference, when the name of the prize winner is revealed.

The prize is distributed as a grant of 25 000 SEK and the awardee is invited to hold a lecture at the next NCK spring conference, which is arranged on site, which takes place every two years. 

Next time to nominate candidates is during autumn 2026, for the 2027 NCK’s Pedagogical Prize!
