The Northern Periphery Programme or NPP is a European Union-funded scheme to promote cooperation and commonalities amongst the people living in the northern fringe of Europe. The programme provides the opportunity for organisations from the programme area to work together on joint projects concerning common issues and problems. As a result, this programme has collected extensive expertise related to living and working in the far north.

Famous quotes containing the words northern, periphery and/or programme:
“I have found that anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the Northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“We make a mistake forsaking England and moving out into the periphery of life. After all, Taormina, Ceylon, Africa, America—as far as we go, they are only the negation of what we ourselves stand for and are: and we’re rather like Jonahs running away from the place we belong.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
