A project called Future Lab has been launched in Norrbotten, Sweden, to involve young people in politics. It targets those aged 15-25 and aims to address issues affecting their future. On April 23, a workshop will bring together youth and regional politicians to discuss various societal matters.
According to youth consultant Isa Ponturo, the project seeks to increase trust in democracy and provide insights into political processes. Region Norrbotten's chairperson Elisabeth Lindberg stated that young people's skills, drive, and curiosity are crucial for a strong and sustainable Norrbotten. The initiative is intended to be ongoing, not a one-time event, to strengthen youth participation.
