Today’s #IndigenousPeoplesDialogue & exchanges are essential & highly valued in the EU.

We want to be part of the solution to the challenges the #Arctic & those living there face.

In these times of uncertainty, we need to stand together.

There is no diversity without #inclusion.

Inclusivity is key to safe & resilient societies - and to retain newcomers.

Listening & opening the doors of decision making to youth & indigenous people can be the key to more diverse, just & inclusive Arctic societies.

At #IndigenousPeoplesDialogue : discussions on the #Arctic. Her wellbeing is much more than a #security issue. True inclusion of indigenous peoples' (and youth!) voices, protecting their rights in EU policy is key. @JuttaUrpilainen @BrynjarSaus @ClaraGanslandt @PVuorimaki @biret
