The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is proud to announce that its Ookpik community website for circumpolar youth has had a total makeover. It’s a completely new Ookpik! The new site is designed for circumpolar youth, with contributions from circumpolar youth. Over the past two years, Ookpik has been managed by a series of young northerners and this practice will continue. OOKPIK is your gateway to Arctic networks, knowledge, opinions and events. You are invited you to come back often to check out the latest developments. On the new OOKPIK.ORG, you can:
- Create your own profile and look at the profiles of others
- Blog about issues that concern you or share stories
- Browse shared pictures from the Arctic and share your own
- Start and contribute to discussion threads
- Get connected and make friends with likeminded Northerners of your own age
- Read about current affairs and other issues that happen in the Arctic
- Learn about opportunities in the Arctic—internships, events, education and more!
- Subscribe to our Arctic Future newsletter
With your help, IISD is hoping to make OOKPIK.ORG the place for youth with strong ties to the north to connect with one another. Together, we can build a stronger, more united, more resilient Arctic.
IISD hopes you enjoy the new website and find it useful. Your suggestions and ideas are always welcome -- please contact them at ookpik@iisd.ca.
