We're back in Denmark just in time to vote in the municipal and regional elections.
Thankfully, no jetlag! (Thanks to trains and ferries.) Instead, we have a folder full of ideas, footage, and notes for a vegan and plant-based world, just waiting to be used.
The whole point of our trip to Finland was to strengthen youth activism here in Denmark for a greener Europe—and that’s exactly what we’re communicating now.
We’ve learned so much with Viral vegans and agreed on effective ways to train future young leaders. We need many voices pushing for a plant-based transition.
Social media posts in the coming weeks
We’ll be sharing stories about our trip and what we’ve learned throughout the year. Expect posts on:
plant-based innovation and activism and why it matters
activism on a student grant
how young people can influence local decisions
everything we learned in Finland
It’s us young volunteers leading the process—editing, ideation, production. We use material from the trip, clips from our sessions, and short videos where we share key insights.
It doesn’t feel like homework—it feels like building something that can truly move other young people.
See you on DA’s Instagram and Facebook!
Three workshops—three cities—three communities
We’re also hosting three workshops in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense.
And they’ll be very DA: creative, political, cozy, and focused on giving other young people the experience that they can start something too.
We’re taking the things we learned in Finland—campaign tactics, conversation formats, small exercises—and applying them directly with you.
It feels powerful to stand in a room teaching others something you’ve just tried out in an international setting.
Look forward to some exciting workshops in January (postponed from December)!
The digital toolbox: our gift to other young people
Finally, we’re compiling everything into a digital toolbox that makes it easy for other young people to start their own plant-based projects.
It will include:
guides and exercises
templates for social media posts and workshops
tips for traveling climate-friendly and organizing events
and short videos from us and our Finnish friends
Our idea: If we’ve learned something that works, everyone should be able to use it.
Releasing by the end of the year—stay tuned for the next blog post!
And what does this mean for us as activists in DA?
To be honest: quite a lot.
We are stronger now—both as a group and as individuals.
We’ve gained:
greater political confidence
more organizing tools
tons of inspiration for local campaigns
a Nordic network that will support us for years to come
and so many Finnish snacks that we won’t need any more this year!
We’re grateful for the chance to learn from other young people in the Nordics.
It’s made us even more ready to fight for a greener, more plant-based Denmark—alongside many other young people. Because we need a revolution.
