| A blog about the history, geography, and mythology of the Nordic countries. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland, and their associated territories. | I am a Library Science masters student focusing in social and library media. This has been combined with a background in archaeology and a fascination with world history and mythology to create this blog. |
The Norden Association, founded in 1919, exists to promote cooperation between the Nordic countries. They were also instrumental in helping to establish the Nordic Council in 1952. Norden is a non-profit, non-political organization.
During WWII Norden was one of the first groups to organize the collection and distribution of relief funds to Finland. Today, the association organizes trips, seminars, exhibitions and events to promote learning and cooperation between the countries.
