Trust is a cornerstone in the Nordic societies and fundamental to the strong democracies and the high level of civic engagement which characterize the Nordic countries: Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Sweden, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Åland.
As part of the Danish-Faroese Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, eight young people from across the Nordic region has been asked to voice values and aspects they find important to their everyday lives 🇩🇰 🇫🇴 🇫🇮 🇬🇱 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 🇦🇽
To Atli from Iceland 🇮🇸 trust is not an abstract idea. It is an integrated and important part of his everyday work-life where he cooperates, exchanges knowledge and experiences across country borders.
Atli believes that trust is something that goes beyond the people he knows personally. Trust is essential to his professional relations as it makes it easier to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
Did you know? The digital platform Nordjobb helps hundreds of young people every year to live and work in another Nordic country. By creating opportunities to cooperate and build new relations, the programme helps strengthen ties and trust across the Nordic region.
Watch Atli’s video and see him pass on the microphone to 7 other Nordic young people🎤Next up is Pipaluk from Greenland 🇬🇱: What kind of lifestyle and rhythm defines her everyday life?
