Your work

Ung Media Sverige is a national organization that empowers young people to create and share their own media. It supports youth-led newspapers, podcasts, films, and digital platforms by providing training, funding, and networks. The organization focuses on strengthening freedom of expression, media literacy, and democratic participation. Through workshops, camps, and local associations, young people gain practical skills in journalism, storytelling, and critical thinking. Ung Media also works to make media more inclusive by amplifying underrepresented voices and encouraging diverse perspectives. By helping young people organize themselves and run their own media projects, it fosters long-term engagement in civil society and a more democratic media landscape.
