Youth to Youth

We believe in the power of the youth’s own voice.

Through our Youth-to-Youth approach, young people teach and guide one another.
Experience shows that peers more easily build trust, understanding and a sense of mastery together.
The method gives youth responsibility, develops leadership skills, and strengthens both the individual and the community.

What does Youth-to-Youth (Ung til Ung) involve?
Here, young people are at the forefront - they plan, communicate, lead activities, and create solutions that matter to others.

Youth take on leadership roles as team leaders or mentors
Participants receive support from peers, lowering the threshold for participation
Responsibility and trust strengthen confidence, community, and democratic engagement
The methodology is used in summer jobs, camps, and projects

Why is this important?

Young people gain experience with leadership and collaboration
Participants learn skills and build self-confidence
The methodology promotes empowerment, youth participation, and peer-to-peer learning - core values in European youth work

Youth-to-Youth (Ung til Ung) means youth don’t just participate - they lead, develop, and build the future together.
