All Youth Want To Rule Their World Research Project (ALL-YOUTH)

Description of the granted funding

A huge challenge of contemporary Finnish society is that becoming a citizen in the 2010s is marked by multiple obstacles. At the same time as young people's (aged from 16 to 25) interest in politics has increased, many feel that their possibilities to participate in society are limited. This may hinder the stability of society and, consequently, sustainable growth. Currently, young people's own capacities, and the obstacles that hamper their engagement with society, are broadly unrecognized. Going against the trend of depicting youth as recipients of projects, ALL-YOUTH explores the visions of youth themselves regarding a sustainable future, growth and wellbeing. To counter the challenges above, the multidisciplinary ALL-YOUTH project will use four key ideas for sustainable growth: good governance and rule of law, digital innovation, bioeconomy and sustainable wellbeing. Young people occupy a strategic position in the future development of society in these key areas.
