Arendal Week 2022: Nordic education – reality or fantasy?

The Nordic countries share the idea that we are close to each other and that it should be simpler to move between the Nordic countries than between other countries.

The Nordic governments have stated that by 2030, the Nordic Region must be the most integrated region in the world, which also extends to the field of education. 

Can this vision become a reality? Are exchanges with neighbouring countries seamless? What are the obstacles? And do we have different ideas about how “borderless” we should be in the field of education between countries?
