Are you dreaming of a getaway from the city? Meeting new people? Or creating a meaningful project to immerse yourself in?

Then join us for Youth Island Weekend! Here, we take a break from everyday life and fill a weekend with everything that brings good energy. Whether it's enjoying a sunset together or starting projects that make a difference - both on the island and on the mainland!

During Youth Island weekends, there are plenty of opportunities to develop and work on projects with others.

The weekend has a full schedule, but you can choose the program points that sound exciting to you. You can participate for a few hours on a single day, stay overnight for one night, or spend the entire weekend.

If you are curious to learn more or have questions about Youth Island Weekend, write to us at engagement@ungdomsoen.dk.

The weekend is for everyone between 15 and 30 years old who is or wants to be part of the Youth Island community.

We look forward to seeing you!
