Scandza Forum is an annual gathering of neo-Nazis, identitarians and white nationalists often held in Scandinavian countries but in 2023 was held in Tallin, Estonia.[1]
In 2023, Scandza Forum was relabelled Guide to Kulchur, named after Nazi sympathizer Ezra Pound's
book.[2][note 1]
Background[edit]
The European Commission Radicalisation Awareness Network has categorised the Scandza Forum as "right wing extremism".[3]
Scandza Forum was founded in 2017 and has been described as having "ties to the most radical section of the alt-right movement, and the message being delivered differs little from Nazism."[4] Its founder Fróði Midjord, has been affiliated with the neo-Nazi Party of the Swedes. The Scandza Forum was modelled on the London Forum, whose founder Jeremy “Jez” Bedford-Turner was found guilty of inciting racial hatred in May 2018.[5]
In 2019, Scandza Forum organised a conference titled "Human Biodiversity" dedicated to race and intelligence pseudoscience.[6]
In 2023, Midjord founded Guide to Kulchur which appears to be the Scandza Forum under a different name.[7]
