Media in Politics

Nordic-Baltic Collaboration in Geopolitically Uncertain Times

This special episode, which was recorded during UPF Lund’s visit to Estonia, collaborated with RSR. As a part of the Erasmus+ Small-scale partnership in the Youth Programme titled “Nordic-Baltic Youth Knowledge Exchange", UPF and RSR had the chance to sit down together and have a discussion about Estonia, Sweden, and Nordic-Baltic cooperation. In the discussion, we reflect on the exchange and share what we learned from meetings with various NGOs, institutions, and workshops throughout the week. We also discuss some of the broader themes that emerged during the visit, including Sweden’s decision to end 200 years of neutrality and join NATO, how “Nordic” Estonia really is, and the presence of Swedish companies in Estonia. RSR Panelists: Karl Andreas Kalamees, Liisbet Reinsalu UPF Panelists: Paula Grandas Perales, Sabina Rameke Editor: Orlando Merino Producers: Hwikyung Lee, Ismail Ali ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
