Young people in the Nordic region
In the Faroe Islands, we will celebrate Nordic Day with an event that focuses on Nordic co-operation seen from the perspective of young people. The recommendations adopted at the Nordic Youth Council's autumn meeting in Oslo in 2023 will form the basis for the main topics discussed.
The Helsinki Treaty – often called the Nordic Constitution
Nordic Day celebrates Nordic co-operation, which involves Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
Official co-operation is based on the Helsinki Treaty, often called the Nordic Constitution. It started after World War II, partly to stand together and promote peace, security and democracy.
Over the decades, the scope of the work has been extended to cover many other areas of policy with the aim of making the Nordic Region the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030.
