Abstract
The Arctic states have recognized the need for international cooperation in education and research as an indispensable element of sustainable development in the region. It is essential that education takes into consideration the values and needs of the region’s inhabitants including indigenous peoples. Education from early childhood to higher education promotes resilience, active citizenship and empowerment of the Northern communities.
