Youth Network NORD

In Youth Network NORD, we create communities, collaboration, and understanding among young people in the Nordic countries.

We do this by organizing meetings around common themes, where we exchange knowledge and experiences, build friendships, and explore opportunities for cooperation.

Youth Network NORD is a collaboration between the Nordic youth councils.

The project is funded by the A.P. Møller and Wife Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation for General Purposes from October 2024 until the end of September 2027.

Together, we strengthen engagement, agency, and future collaboration

The foundation of the Youth Network NORD is a unique collaboration between the Nordic youth councils.

Our approach to meetings between Nordic youth is:

1. 🤝 Meeting around a common third cause, as well as exchanging knowledge and experiences, provides the sense that we have much in common and can learn from each other. This fosters curiosity, understanding, communities, collaboration, and partnerships.
2. 🙌 Through peer-to-peer meetings and friendships, we gain experience with Nordic cultures and languages, and we feel part of a meaningful and inspiring Nordic community.
3. 💪 Creating strong partnerships requires capacity building and support for collaboration, especially help with securing funding.
4. 🫶 Concrete experiences with cultures, languages, and Nordic cooperation deepen our understanding of the shared linguistic, cultural, and value-based community in the Nordic region.

In this way, we empower each individual young person and youth organization. We contribute to ensuring that more people feel part of a Nordic community and understand the value of Nordic cooperation. And we strengthen the common Nordic youth voice.

All of this is an important foundation for addressing regional and global challenges and ensuring a sustainable and cohesive Nordic region.
