At the end of June, UWC Red Cross Nordic welcomed 22 young people from across the Nordic countries to Flekke for our first-ever Nordic Youth Ambassador Camp. Throughout the camp, participants took part in workshops, Red Cross and First Aid training, outdoor activities, and plenty of opportunities to spend time together. The focus was simple: to meet, connect and learn from different perspectives across the Nordic region, while also getting to know UWC and the values behind our movement.

We were also happy to welcome two RCN alumni back to campus to support the programme. They helped facilitate activities and shared experiences from their time at RCN and their wider UWC journeys. As the first Nordic Youth Ambassador Camp at RCN, it marked the beginning of something new. We hope it can grow into a tradition that brings Nordic youth together in Flekke, creating connections, exchanging ideas and building friendships that last well beyond the camp.
