Nordic Youth Council to Speak English

On the grounds that it considers inclusion more important than language, the Nordic Youth Council has decided that it will work in English whenever necessary, a move that runs counter to official Nordic language policy, which specifies Norwegian, Swedish and Danish as the working languages. "Nordic co-operation has to be open to all, not just an exclusive club for Scandinavian speakers," the Nordic Youth Council (UNR) said in a statement on 14 April.
