The Nordic Studentradio News podcast for week 12, 2023.

  • The Nordic Council’s annual meeting discussed the joint action to phase out the production of fossil fuels – to help the region become the world’s most sustainable region.
  • The motion to phase out fossil fuels was turned down by a narrow margin, with opponents arguing that energy uncertainty due to the war in Ukraine required delaying the goal.
  • Residents of the Nordic countries are sceptical that the current political actions will be enough to fulfil the goals of the Paris Agreement.
  • What do young Swedes and Danes know about the Nordic Council and what is the first thing they think of when they hear the word ‘Nordic’?

Nordljud Talk is back, with Hilde Sandvik

Scandinavian journalist Hilde Sandvik will be our guest speaker at the upcoming Nordljud Talk!

>>> Zoom link: https://gu-se.zoom.us/j/61007539824 <<<

Yes, it’s been a while since our last Nordljud Talk so it’s about time to open the doors of our digital meeting room to start talking again about Nordics and the media. And what better way to start off the new year than with an experienced journalist that works in Scandinavian?

Hilde Sandvik, is a Norwegian journalist based in Bergen, with many years of experience and a strong passion for the Nordic project. For over two years she has been running a collaborative show on Scandinavian public service radios.

Speaking a common ‘Scandinavian language’, a mixture of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, is something Hilde believes in a lot and does both professionally and privately.

In October, during the Nordljud Weekend in Bergen, part of the team caught up with Hilde and spoke about Scandinavian identity, how to surpass the difficulties in understanding each other and the way many Scandinavians tend to switch into English, for simplicity.

Eva, Alex and Eden from the Nordljud team met Hilde Sandvik in Bergen (2022).

The Nordljud Talk will take place digitally on the 6th of February 2023 and is open to all Student Radio members in the Nordic countries plus staff students & alumni of JMG, Gothenburg university.

>>> Zoom link: https://gu-se.zoom.us/j/61007539824 <<<

Hilde Sandvik, is the mastermind and Norwegian radio host of the only radio show in ‘Scandinavian language’, broadcast on Norwegian, Swedish and Danish public service radios. Have a listen to Norsken, svenken og dansken here.
