Our debates at the People’s Festival 2023:

15 June at 11:45: The green transition and the sea

The Nordic energy transition requires a massive expansion of offshore wind, which has led to a race for space in the sea. 
 

15 June at 12:45: Is business doing enough about biodiversity?

Action must be taken about the loss of biodiversity. The whole of society needs to be involved if we are reverse the trend and re-establish biodiversity. But how?

The debate will streamed live on norden.org. 

15 June at 15:30: Can we create a sustainable Nordic ecosystem for venture capital?

The Nordic Region is a leading region in Europe for innovation and startups. How can we encourage private capital to support circular innovation in the Region?

15 June at 17:00: Everyone praises shared Nordic values but fewer and fewer understand each others’ languages

In recent decades, there has been a tendency for people to know less and less about the languages of their Nordic neighbours. Why is that? Why are language and culture so important? 

16 June at 9:30: Share your data on health apps?

To change the health focus from treatment to prevention will require a far higher degree of citizen involvement and willingness to share personal data. Digital health apps can be a big part of the solution.

16 June at 10:30: Shame, NATO and the Kalmar Union. Are our young people ‘Nordic’?

Is there such a thing as a Nordic identity and what new opportunities are there for working together? Could we create a shared public service platform? Nordic co-operation on defence? 

16 June at 13:00: The vocational training of the future in the Nordic Region

The lack of skilled labour is a challenge in Denmark and the rest of the Nordic Region. The Danish dropout rate from vocational training is 40%, almost three times as large as the corresponding rate from academic education. We want to kick-start a debate with young people about the vocational training of the future.  

The debate will be streamed live on norden.org. 

16 June at 14:15: Energy and security – a new trilemma

Can we still achieve our climate goals and ensure a fair, green transition at a time of high energy prices and an uncertain geopolitical situation? 

16 June at 15:30: A new Nordic age?

Altinget and the Nordic Council of Ministers have combined to articulate Nordic co-operation and what the future holds for it. 

This debate will be live streamed on norden.org.

16 June at 15:30: Indigenous people’s rights and knowledge in the green transition

This panel will dive into the topics of Indigenous rights, the green transition and biodiversity - and best practices to harmonize these.

16 June at 17:00: A Nordic invitation

The Nordic Council of Ministers and the Nordic Council are hosting a conversation about Nordic identity and answering questions about Nordic co-operation.

17 June at 9:30: Nature-based solutions – hear all the latest news!

Discover the latest in Nordic nature-based solutions that will help keep climate change below 1.5 degrees. You can also join the discussion about how much – or little – progress we have made in the area and what is needed to scale up work on nature-based solutions in the Nordic Region. 

17 June at 10:45: Breathe new life into your old clothes: Workshop with Icelandic Ýrúrarí

Making clothes and other textiles last longer is a key element in making the textile industry sustainable. Bring your favourite holey jersey or make personalised “patches”" to take home.

17 June at 14:00: Young people and exclusion – how do we get everyone involved?

More and more young people feel unhappy and excluded. The Nordic Council of Ministers is bringing together young people, experts, civil society and decision-makers at all five Nordic democracy festivals to address a key challenge faced by all of the Nordic countries: How to get more young people involved? 

17 June at 15:15: Women in War

What is the relationship like between the Ukrainian and Russian diasporas more than a year after the full-scale Russian invasion and the war in Ukraine? Is it possible for them to enter into a dialogue – perhaps even to join forces to change the situation?
