On 20 February, the Project Office for Arctic Development, together with the Arctic Youth Project, organised the «Development of Arctic Youth Movements. In search of common meanings».
«Any organisation working for development and progress should pay special attention to youth. Young people are energy, ideas and the future, without which it is impossible to move forward»
