Ungetinget 2026
Sustainable and resilient youth organizations
📍Espoo, Finland, 30 October–1 November
How can youth organizations take care of their people, finances and environment in the turbulent times we are living in?
It requires the ability to adapt, innovate and focus on the organization’s core values. In one word, resilience.
Ungetinget 2026 is all about making Nordic youth organizations even more sustainable and resilient.
Each participant will be able to approach the theme from the point of view that feels the most relevant to their organization.
We will explore themes such as volunteer engagement, accessibility, democracy, preparedness, and ecological sustainability.
Join us and meet 100 young people from across the Nordic region for a weekend seminar packed with exciting workshops, sessions, and social activities.

Why Nordic meetings matter
🤝 Meeting around a common cause helps us see how much we share, and how much we can learn from one another.
🫶 Friendships and peer connections build a living understanding of Nordic cultures and foster a sense of belonging.
🙌 Nordic collaboration contributes to a stronger unified youth voice - and we will share tools to start future projects
Ungetinget 2025 is part of the broader Youth Network NORD initiative - a unique collaboration between the Nordic youth councils.
