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
