The Ukrainian-Danish Youth House
Much is at stake in Ukraine. The country is the focal point of a new conflict in Europe, while at the same time undergoing extensive reform processes to strengthen democracy, promote human rights and create sustainable growth. The Ukrainian youth play an important part in this development.
The Youth House is a platform for young people from Ukraine and Denmark supporting participation, democracy, and creativity. Based in Kyiv, it is the ambition to engage, facilitate, and support youth projects and activism across the countries.
Workshops, social activities, youth festivals, cultural projects and exchange trips will build bridges and friendships from Kyiv to Copenhagen, from Mariupol to Mariager.
Dialogue, new ideas and inspiring meetings are at the core of the vibrant spot, which is based on the strong belief that everybody can join and get involved.
It is a place for creativity, big dreams, and collaboration. A place to discuss and investigate one’s rights as a young person – and it is a safe place where you can hang out with both your present and future friends.
