Launching Arctic Youth Conference 2025: Call for Session Proposals

12/07/2024 - MAECI DGSP

Dove: Tromsø

Quando: 24/01/2025 - 26/01/2025


The Norwegian Chairship of the Arctic Council is pleased to announce that the Arctic Youth Conference will be held on 24-26 January 2025 in Tromsø, Norway. This important event will bring together youth from across the Arctic region to discuss pressing issues and shape the future of the Arctic. The Chairship's Arctic Youth Conference will precede the Arctic Frontiers conference and will therefore be a good opportunity for attendees to potentially participate in both. 

 

 

Call for Contributions

To organize a conference that is both for youth and by youth, the Norwegian Chairship Youth Committee has been central in selecting the overarching theme; Empowering Youth in Arctic Futures, under which the following five sub-themes will be further explored:

 

  • Youth Leadership in the Arctic
  • Preservation of Indigenous Culture and Identity
  • Young Researchers and Knowledge Holders in Arctic Science: Co-development of Knowledge
  • Preparedness and Resilience
  • Mental Wellbeing

 

The Chairship is now accepting session and workshop proposals for the conference. We also welcome and encourage the contribution and collaboration from the Permanent Participants, Working Groups, and Observers. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the conference program by proposing topics that are crucial to the Arctic region. We welcome proposals on the conference themes, but we are also open to considering proposals on a wider range of themes related to climate change, sustainable development, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and youth empowerment.

 

 

Funding Youth Participation and Mobility

The Norwegian Chairship is offering this opportunity without any registration fee. Ensuring the participation and mobility of youth from across the Arctic is a priority for us to ensure having diverse voices and perspectives at the conference. To achieve this, we seek your collaboration and support in facilitating and funding the travel and participation of young delegates. Your assistance in this regard will be crucial in enabling us to bring together a diverse group of young leaders from across the Arctic region and ensure their voices are heard through this important platform.

 

We invite you to please share this announcement with your colleagues and encourage youth to participate in shaping a meaningful and impactful conference.

 

We look forward to sharing a first draft program and registration information once submissions have been received and reviewed after the summer. For any immediate inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the ACS: acs@arctic-council.org.

 

Thank you for your attention and we look forward to your valuable contributions.
