The Arena program

Their short, sharp and passionate presentations will demonstrate how women’s rights and gender equality are being pushed forward. The ceremonial opening, opening show and closing ceremony will also be held here.
The Nordic program
This part of the program is Nordiskt Forum’s ideological core. Here, we will go into depth and analyse the Nordic as well as global challenges with CEDAW and the Beijing Platform for Action as our starting points. Here, we will formulate clear demands and requests to go into the final document that we will hand over to representatives of the Nordic governments and parliaments on the last day of the forum.
The Open program
You can choose from hundreds of program activities in the open program and you will meet all the people who work in different ways to improve gender equality. Here, civil society organisations, government authorities, universities, unions, municipalities, companies, activist networks and other parties will organise workshops, seminars, mingle sessions or panel discussions on feminism and gender equality.
