Details

The International Youth Initiative Program (YIP) is a 10-month residential societal entrepreneurship training for 18-28 years olds based in Sweden. It offers a holistic educational program that expands global understanding and personal awareness. YIP aims to strengthen young people’s capacity to take the personal and collective initiative in the face of current global realities.

Details 

The YIP program moves through seven different stages or course blocks. In order to create a holistic education, YIP participants are given an opportunity to dive into different topic areas. Within each of the seven-course blocks are a series of one-week-long courses in the morning and afternoon activities that balance intellectual, socio-emotional, and practical knowledge. These are listed in the Curriculum section above and the Afternoon section below. The morning courses consist of contributor-led content and afternoon of applied mentor-led practices. These two tracks run throughout the year. They align with the educational principles and aim to practically teach the YIP ethos in an accessible way.
