Alexander Winge elected president of Nordic Youth Council for 2025

“The Nordic Youth Council will become an independent organisation in 2025, which means that we’ve an important year ahead of us in establishing a stable structure for an organisation that is sustainable and works well for years to come. At the same time, we must step up our political relevance and continue to be a strong voice for young people throughout the Nordics,” says Winge. 

The Nordic Youth Council’s main task is to influence the work of the Nordic Council. Winge has the following message for the members of the Nordic Council:

“Have the courage to listen to us young people and make the decisions that are needed. We’re the ones who’ll have to live with the long-term consequences. Short-term thinking simply isn’t an option. I’m looking forward to positive co-operation in the year to come.” 

Although Winge will take office as president in January 2025, he will use the coming months to prepare for his new role.
