Celebrate the official Nordic Day with us and get more information about the Nordic Region!

The Nordic Day is celebrated on 23rd of March every year because of the Treaty of Co-operation between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden (the Helsinki Treaty).  This Treaty was signed on 23 March 1962 and entered into force on 1 July 1962.
On Wednesday,  we celebrate the Nordic Day in all the Nordic capitals with launching State of the Nordic Region 22 and several events.

In Stockholm we will talk about: 

Closed borders and cross-border labour – How do they co-exist?

WHEN

23 March at 10–11:00 (CET)

Breakfast will be served from 09:30

WHERE

Foajé 3, Kulturhuset, Stockholm – entrance from Sergels torg

WHY

458,000 citizens – 1.7% of the Nordic population – live in a different Nordic country to the one in which they were born. This event will look at how the pandemic affected them in terms of cross-border working and mobility – and how Nordic collaboration can be improved. This is a key topic in the 2022 edition of Nordregio’s State of the Nordic Region Report.
