Unity makes you strong. Especially in troubled times.

This also applies to the Nordic Region during Sweden's presidency of the Nordic Council in 2025: Culture has a crucial societal function and serves as an important aspect of the business sector and labour market, at the same time as it helps to deepen equality and democracy.

Today Danske Medier and DPCMO had the pleasure of meeting the Nordic Council Director Kristina Háfoss Hafoss and Senior Advisor Sigurdur Olafsson for a conversation about democracy, culture, media, tech/AI, innovation and safeguarding children and young people on social media.

Our starting point is the Nordics, but also the Baltics, Europe and the rest of the world must deal with the challenges of the age of big tech. By listening to each other and exchanging knowledge, we can go far. Challenging times call for collective courage, creativity and collaboration.
