UNYA Copenhagen

Founded in 2014, UNYA Copenhagen gives a voice to young people passionate about international development, the SDGs, and community-based action.

Whether it’s through awareness campaigns, collaborations with other youth organizations, or creative initiatives on social media, we work to make the UN’s agenda relevant and accessible to the youth of Copenhagen.

The organization consists of a board, three working groups that each focus on a specific SDG, and a communication team.

Our current working groups:

Gender Equality
Peace, Justice and Security
Climate Action
Communication

WHAT WE DO

Workshops & panel discussions

Hosting workshops and discussions on global challenges and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Youth Engagement

Through our activities, we aim to make global issues more accessible and inspire youth to take action locally and create positive change in their communities.
