THE ARCTIC YOUTH NETWORK DONATION

1/19/2021

 
Picture
Every year, instead of sending holiday greetings out to all clients, customers and our network via mail and email, Kisserup donates funds to a Non-for Profit organization within one of the global communities where we are working. For 2020, as we worked throughout the Arctic region for the Arctic Future Challenge youth entrepreneurship competition, we have chosen to make our annual holiday donation in support of The Arctic Youth Network, a youth-founded and youth-led non-profit organization supporting a global network of youth through international cooperation and capacity-building across the Arctic region.

Arctic Future Challenge

10/26/2020

 
The key to future cooperation in the Arctic lies in the hands of the youth. The younger generations of the Arctic will be responsible for the future sustainable development of the region, and their skills in innovation and entrepreneurship are a precondition for future economic growth and social development. Therefore, the Governments of Denmark, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland have chosen to acknowledge youth as a key political priority. Arctic Future Challenge has been created and the concept of the idea was launched at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Iceland in October 2019 by the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jeppe Kofod. The aim of the competition is to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation among the Arctic youth, and to create awareness of the Arctic as a region with entrepreneurial business and investment potential.
