EU Arctic Strategy: Commissioner Síkela meets with the Arctic Indigenous Youth Cohort

Show transcript

You are the future leaders.

You will be owners of the companies,

or maybe policymakers, or maybe government members.

I think my vision is an Arctic that has increased connectivity.

What would be the single advice

you want to give to the European Commission?

What would it be?

in discussions.

To not get so caught up in your own political agendas,

to think really about the people that are going to inherit the Arctic.

You should really listen to what the locals say.

And without trust, we cannot really go forward.

Also making it so that local community members and future generations

have curiosity and want to be part of the research process.

What does the EU mean for you?

Having a European passport.

It's good for traveling.

The EU has supported the investments

into infrastructure in my region, which is very important for everyday life.

The EU shows that things also come back to us.
