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, children's rights advocates, and allied adults. We are convinced that Sweden needs a power shift – that democracy becomes greater 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 decision-makers' views of young people in municipalities, regions, and authorities. We do this by challenging, supporting, and contributing with new working methods, 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 life. Together we break down barriers between young people and power.
