ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nordic Council

The Nordic Council is like a club that includes the countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. It's made up of representatives from each country who work together to help make life better for people in the Nordic region. They talk about things like the environment, health care, education, and other important things that affect the people who live there.

The council was created because these countries are really close to each other and they have a lot in common. They share a history, culture, and language. They wanted to work together to solve common problems and create new opportunities for everyone in the region.

So, imagine you and your friends live on the same street. You all go to the same school, talk the same language, and share the same playground. Sometimes, you have to work together to make sure everyone is happy and safe on the street. That's a bit like what the Nordic Council does for the countries in the region.
