Nordic Day in Denmark: Societal preparedness and young people

The Nordic Region aims to be the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. But how will we get there during a period of geopolitical tensions, climate crises and digital challenges? How will we make sure our nations remain strong democracies in which young people have a voice and feel safe and secure? Preparedness is not just about defence and crisis management — it is also about making society resilient and standing together across borders. These are just some of the issues that will be addressed on 17 March, when Swedish, Danish and Baltic young people converge on the Youth Island in Copenhagen to talk about ways of making our societies more resilient. Based on recommendations from the Nordic-Baltic Youth Summit 2024 and presentations by Elzbieta Drazkiewicz, the head of NordForsk’s Nordic Disinformation Resilience Network, we will delve into key themes such as AI and disinformation, democracy and mental health.
