Generation Barents is an event that brings together a variety of curious young people passionate about the future of the High North. The event offers a unique chance for young adults to connect, collaborate in hands-on workshops, and dive into discussions on key topics such as youth engagement in the Barents Region and civil security and preparedness of the communities in the North. During the event you will also get the chance to participate in an excursion to learn more about the boreal forests during a forest walk in the beautiful nature of Umeå. The two-day conference is a chance to connect, grow, and expand your Nordic-Barents network for years to come.
