===========================================

Website Re-launched - http://www.ookpik.org

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) announces the re-launching of the Ookpik website at: http://www.ookpik.org.

Ookpik (the name comes from the Inuktitut word for snow owl) is intended to be a community website for circumpolar youth. Over the past two years, Ookpik has been managed by a series of young northerners and this practice will continue. It is designed for circumpolar youth with contributions from circumpolar youth, and includes information on arctic networks, knowledge, opinions, and events.

On the Ookpik website, arctic youth can:
- Create their own profiles and look at the profiles of others;
- Read about current affairs and other issues that happen in the Arctic;
- Learn about opportunities in the Arctic (e.g., internships, events, and education);
- Subscribe to the Arctic Future newsletter;
- Get connected and make friends with likeminded Northerners of their own age;
- Browse shared pictures from the Arctic and share their own;
- Blog about issues that concern them or share stories; and
- Start and contribute to discussion threads.
