The Scandinavian and Nordic countries are often used as role models for good governance in openness, equality, education, sustainability, innovation and economic policy.
These countries are regularly topping global quality-of-life rankings. Even though all the Scandinavian countries have their own uniqueness, they share a common history, and have developed a common set of values. This site will try to explain these values in more detail, and explain the Scandinavian approach in a global setting.
Some of the core values of Scandinavia are:
- Preserving the environment and natural resources. Working for sustainable growth and development
- New ways of thinking, creativity and innovation. Using everyone’s talents to tackle problems and come up with new things to improve life.
- Openness and transparency. There is nothing to hide. Media and the public have access to everything and everybody can form and share an opinion openly and publicly.
- Compassion and equality. We are all the same and have the same value regardless of gender, age, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation, race or any other personal trait.
- Trust. Not only in family and friends, but also to strangers, even institutions. More trust equals less control and stress.
