Voices of the North

A podcast telling your stories of cooperation in the Northern Periphery and Arctic

Voices of the North

Welcome to Voices of the North, a podcast sharing stories from the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme. In this series, you will hear from people across the northernmost parts of Europe and the Arctic — project leaders, community members, and partners — who are working together to tackle shared challenges and create opportunities for the future. These are their voices, their experiences, and their visions for a stronger, more connected North.
