The Project “Norden for peace?”
– How do the Nordic countries, separately and jointly, relate to peace? – If the Nordic region wants to be and be regarded as a region of peace, what efforts can be done to promote such development? – How can the Nordic experiences contribute to peaceful developments societies around the world? These are some of the questions raised at public seminars and in opinion pieces in all the Nordic countries within the project “The Nordic Region Regarded from a Peace Perspective”, in short “Norden for peace?”. The project, which takes place between autumn 2013 and spring 2016, brings together six organizations in the Nordic countries. The network includes the lead partner the Åland Islands Peace Institute as well as the Peace Union of Finland, the Norwegian Peace Council, Peace Alliance Denmark, The Norden Association Sweden and the Institute of International Affairs at the University of Iceland. The network partners want to create a broad and inclusive discussion on approaches to peace in the Nordic countries separately and within the Nordic co-operation, including in relation to the ongoing densification of security and defence cooperation between the Nordic countries. The project is funded by the Nord plus adult programme. Contact: Project Manager Susann Simolin Information Officer at the ÅIPI E-mail: susann(@)peace.ax […]
