Arctic Youth Network’s Working Group on Arctic Indigenous Peoples aims to address key challenges faced by Arctic Indigenous youth, such as accessibility to education and resources, communication barriers, and limited funding opportunities.

The group fosters knowledge-sharing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and empowers Indigenous youth and non-Indigenous researchers through active participation in conferences, events, and collaborative projects.

By raising awareness, we strive to make educational materials more accessible across the Arctic.
