About Youth 2030 Movement We are a small organization where everyone contributes to the association's overall work as needed. We support each other and participate in joint activities. Youth 2030 Movement is a non-profit association that brings together democracy activists, young leaders, child rights advocates, and allied adults. We are convinced that Sweden needs a shift in power – that democracy becomes larger and stronger when young people have more influence over community development. We have our sights set on 2030. Until then, we fight for a lowered voting age and to change how decision-makers in municipalities, regions, and authorities view young people. We do this by challenging, supporting, and contributing new ways of working, analyses, and proven methods for inclusion. We will not give up until every young person in Sweden has the power to influence society and their own lives. Together, we tear down barriers between young people and power.
