Brief Explanation

In The DNA Journey we invite people from all around the world to a personal talk about nationality – on how they see themselves and how they see others. Each talk has its own share of pride, problems and prejudice. We also ask them to spit in a tube. This small sample of saliva is enough to make a DNA test that maps out a person’s genetic ancestry over the last 500-2000 years. That is, the test can tell us which geographic areas their ancestors came from. We then ask each person to reflect on the – often surprising – results. It forces a lot of people to rethink who they really are and realize that they have more in common with the world than they thought.
