NDF Community Forum: Active Citizenship in the Nordics

Join NDF on 22 Sept 2026 in Stockholm for a community forum on active citizenship, plus a guest session on the SENSOR whistleblowing project.

Stockholm | Tuesday, 22 September 2026 | 09:30-12:30

Nordic Diaspora Forum (NDF) invites you to a morning of dialogue, community and civic engagement. Our Community Forum brings together diaspora members, local partners, civil society organisations and friends of NDF to explore what active citizenship looks like in the Nordics today – from grassroots participation to the green transition.

As part of the programme, we’re pleased to welcome Nordic Horizon Institutet, who will share insights from the EU-funded SENSOR project on whistleblowing as a tool for environmental protection and climate accountability. It’s one voice among several at our forum, and a great opportunity to learn how citizens across Europe are being empowered to speak up for the planet.
