Northern Futures Hub

A cross-border initiative started in 2026, to bring citizens of all ages together to explore and create the futures they want to live in. Participants will explore possible futures, share experiences and test new ways to strengthen wellbeing, inclusion, and resilience in their regions.

Activities in Norway (Tromsø), Faroe Islands and Iceland. Funded by NORA - Nordic Atlantic Cooperation.
