Pan-Nordic public discussion project
Empowering the Nordic transnational public discussion
Europe and the Nordic region are increasingly facing transnational challenges that require international solutions, cooperation, and decision-making. To sustain our democracies, transnational public discussions have to grow as well. Public discussion helps citizens to build a better understanding of challenges that are shared across states as well as transnational decision-making processes.
Participating in pan-Nordic discussions will help citizens to shape and express their views on these issues. While transnational journalism as a public sphere is emerging and evolving, the formats for pan-European public debate need to be developed to be more accessible and inclusive to have an impact.
The total amount of the grant is €62 950
What we do in the project?
The purpose of this project is to enrich the Nordic public sphere with public discussions on shared transnational challenges for Nordic, Baltic, and Ukrainian citizens to better understand those issues and how they affect our daily lives.
Creating
formats
Together with partners, we will create formats and guidelines for transnational discussions, and publish a tool to organize these discussions.
Piloting the discussions
We will pilot transnational discussions ourselves in August 2023 and May 2024.
Empowering Nordic civil society
We will empower Nordic civil society organizations to organize transnational discussions through training and a partnership seminar.
Engaging Ukrainian communities
We will strengthen the involvement of non-native speakers in public discussions by involving Ukrainian organizations and local communities.
