The International Youth Initiative Program (YIP) in Sweden

The International Youth Initiative Program (YIP) is a holistic educational program that strengthens young people’s capacity to take initiative in the face of current global challenges.

20-40 participants aged 18 to 28, from all over the world, live and learn together for 10 months in Järna, Sweden.

The purpose of the International Youth Initiative Program is to foster in young people a holistic understanding of the current challenges humanity faces and to empower them to use entrepreneurial principles and skills to create initiatives and change within themselves that meet these challenges while practising collaboration and moral integrity.

Apply for YIP

Are you between 18 & 28 years old? Do you speak, write and understand English? Do you have a basic sense of the global challenges we are facing as humanity? Do you want to understand these challenges better? Are you driven, willing, engaged and involved? Do you want to learn how to work together with other people in creating a better world? Then join our 10-month program!

Is YIP for you?

Are you ready for a full-time learning experience, living in community, where you can actively engage in various elements of a diverse curriculum?  YIP is looking for people who are excited to take their learning into their own hands; entrepreneurial, self-motivated individuals who will work with one another to create the learning environment that they deserve.  We give you the best content and contributors we can find, you bring your unique gifts and energy and together we will create the authentically diverse experience that is YIP.

What is the purpose of the application-process?

The application procedure aims to give us a picture of who you are, the questions you carry, and where we can meet you on your path. Through your answers we hope to find out how you see the world, yourself and why YIP would make sense for you in your life. We appreciate honesty, authenticity and thoroughness of the application.
