What is the future of Greenland? Where are we as a Nation 20 years from now?

Kind of funny writing this blog from a different perspective than my prior blogs. I have decided to continue in English, since globalization also takes place in the Arctic.
My ambition is to blog about #leadership #GreenlandVer2 #arctic and #vision – seen from an Arctic perspective on top of the World with a different outlook than most people in the World.
My ambition is also to inspire the youth. To inspire the Greenlandic youth – but also youth from other regions to make their voice heard.
