How can local democracy grow stronger when young people lead the way? 
Join the IYTT and Speak Up Project for a one-hour webinar exploring the results of our IYTT Summer Camps on youth engagement in local policy-making.
The Summer Camp Method connects youth, citizens, and decision-makers:
- Youth are entrusted with the meaningful task of voicing citizens’ ideas and shaping them into policy proposals.
- Citizens gain new channels to express their views on local community life.
- Local leaders receive grounded insights to inspire change and strengthen community trust.
The Youth Fellows leading the Summer Camps will be joined by representatives from Malmö, Oldenburg, Saint-Martin-Boulogne/

Roland Paulsen at the Gothenburg Democracy Talks
Unlocking Potential: The Promise of Technology in Reducing Work Hours
Roland Paulsen is a sociologist, author, and a Senior Lecturer at Lund University. Paulsen’s research focuses on the sociology of work, medical sociology, cultural studies, the meaning of work and also the meaninglessness of work, which are the subjects of two of his books: Return to Meaning: A Social Science with Something to Say (2017), and Empty Labor: Idleness and Workplace Resistance (2014). In addition to this academic work, Paulsen regularly writes for Dagens Nyheter, Swedens largest daily newspaper.
This Gothenburg Democracy Talk is part of the International Youth Think Tank’s ongoing work on Revaluing Work Models and Monetary Measures. Following the presentation by our distinguished guest speaker, a pair of our Youth Fellows will reflect on the subject at hand and give a brief overview of the ideas developed by the think tank so far.
If you are interested, feel free to take part of our previously published Working Paper, Policy Brief and Youth Panel on the subject.
This lunch seminar series is organized by the the IYTT-International Youth Think Tank, and the Department of Law at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with the student-led lunch event organizer Brännpunkt Europa. It is financed by Gustav Adolf Bratts föreläsningsfond.
The seminar will be held in Dragonen, Sprängkullsgatan 19, Gothenburg, and will also be live-streamed on our Youtube-channel. It is free to attend but please sign up below. You can find the other seminars in the series here.
