International cooperation

International cooperation is a central part of our work. We live in a fast paced, constantly changing and globalised world, where we need to work together to improve it. We believe that everyone should be able to experience peace and never have to give up their human rights, which is why these form two act as the foundations of our international politics.

we strive for an equal, free and sustainable world

The Swedish Youth of Finland is a social liberal organisation. All people are equal, and we believe in the freedom of the individual and their ability to make their own choices. Everyone has the right to be themselves, as long as they do not interfere with others’ right to do the same.

Swedish Youth of Finland’s international politics are developed in a combined effort by the Board and our International Committee.
The international political programme is revised on a yearly basis, at the Youth Party’s Congress. The International Committee plays an important role in preparing and writing resolutions for the Congress, where delegates discuss and vote for or agains the resolutions to be adopted policies. The International Committee works closely with the Board members throughout the year to achieve the goals of the policies. Additionally the International Committee is responsible for actively participating in both European and world politics through press releases and statements on current issues.

Swedish Youth of Finland is a member of several international organisations, where we strive to have members of the Youth Party represented through being a Board member or participating in various working groups that our umbrella organisations organize.

  • The Nordic cooperation is mostly managed through Nordiska Centerungdomens Förbund (Nordic Centre Youth, NCF).
  • Swedish Youth of Finland is also represented in the Nordic Youth Council
  • In Europe, Finland is a member of European Liberal Youth (LYMEC)
  • Globally we are a member of the International Federation of Liberal Youth (IFLRY)

The connections to our international organisations are vital for our Youth Party, as they serve as a source of inspiration for the type of international political development we should implement in order to achieve the corner stones of democracy that promotes equality and freedom for all humans.

One of the best perks of being a member of the International Committee is the possibility to travel and represent the Swedish Youth at various events that are organized by our umbrella organisations or to attend Congresses to our sister parties. This is an unique oppurunity for members of our Youth Party to learn about democratic procedures, meet new, like minded people and create memories for a lifetime!
