Warm greetings from a sunny and blossoming Sweden!

We on the team here at YIP (International Youth Initiative Program) would like to share with you that applications for YIP18 (2025-2026) are now open. We have had many wonderful applicants, and YIP18 is looking like becoming an amazing group of inspired individuals.

YIP is an Anthroposophically inspired 10-month residential, holistic education program in societal entrepreneurship for 18–28 year-olds. Surrounded by the beautiful natural sceneries in Ytterjärna, Sweden, young people from different countries come to encounter not only each other and the world, but also themselves.

YIP aims to strengthen young people’s capacity to take personal and collective initiative in the face of current global realities and to find their authentic task in the world. Participants live and learn together to explore the current challenges of our time, grow their personal awareness as well as their ability to work together. They meet inspiring individuals who are working on the cutting edge of finding creative and future orientated solutions to the complexity of the difficulties we see in the world in the realm of governance and activism, food sovereignty and initiative and initiation and much, much more.

Applications for YIP18 are open until the 15th of June, 2025. Apply now through the provided link: https://yip.se/application/
