Bridging the Nordics

We are committed to shaping a sustainable and inclusive Nordic region rooted in anti-discrimination, gender equality, equity, and justice. Through dynamic cross-country collaborations with Nordic civil society organizations, we foster deeper understanding, facilitate knowledge transfer, and promote continuous learning. Our initiatives, such as the Diversify Nordics Summit, Bridging the Nordic Arts & Culture sector, the Nordic Blaze Inclusion Awards, cross-border research, and monthly events, are designed to build meaningful connections—both in-person and digital—that bridge divides and unite our diverse communities.

The Arts & Culture Collective Gatherings is designed to foster an equitable, sustainable, and collaborative arts and culture ecosystem that spans the Nordics through the creation of a Community of Practice.

The Diversify Nordics Summit (DNS) is a premier global conference, offering a unique platform for leaders to connect, innovate, and address urgent global, societal, and workplace challenges.
