Shared Voices consists of articles from our member institutions, Thematic Networks, partners, friends, and the broader UArctic community. In the 2025 issue, you'll find stories about revitalizing Indigenous languages, broadening participation in polar sciences through informal STEM education, developing engineering education in Greenland, building an internship program with focus on permafrost, and many others.
You can read Shared Voices 2025 online as individual articles, or download the entire magazine as a PDF. Print copies are also available at the UArctic Assembly 2025, held from June 6-9 in Inari, Sápmi, Finland.
