Has the Nordic Council of Ministers’ ambition of removing 8-12 barriers to cross-border freedom of movement per annum in the labour market, social security, education and business been put on pause by Covid19 restrictions and lockdowns? Is the Nordic gold – trusting each other – being replaced by a growing distrust and fear of each other? And if so, what should be done about it? Politicians, individuals and organisations will debate these questions in greater detail.
Information
Freedom of movement is a key priority for Nordic co-operation and part of the efforts to fulfil the vision outlined by the prime ministers to make the Nordic Region the most integrated region in the world. This will also be on the agenda, from a Danish, Faroese, Greenlandic and – in particular – Nordic perspective.
