General Information

Ung i Gladsaxe is also known as “UNiG” which translated into English, means “Young in Gladsaxe Community”. It is a project run by the community of Gladsaxe and involves youngsters from the age of 13 to 29. In Gladsaxe we’ve got six youth clubs situated in various places throughout the community. In the youth clubs there are hired and educated pedagogues, whose purpose is to make activities with the youngsters, such as playing table tennis, football, board games etc. as well as making sure that the youngsters are socially in balance. The youth clubs secure, that all young people in the community can find a place to interact with other youngsters, or talk to an adult about what's going on in their lives. In UNiG, we have created something called UNiGTravel. In UNiGTravel, we seek to promote intercultural communication and SDGs with all the youngsters. By arranging international tours with Erasmus+ trainings.

Main Projects / Activities

Ung i Gladsaxe works on the basis of a community-creating and participation-oriented approach, where the focus is on creating dynamic youth environments that are based on young people' interests and needs, provide a safe environment and motivate for active participation, commitment and responsibility. It is our ambition to be visible resource-persons for young peoplewhere they are - not only in existing youth clubs, but also in the local area and the city's spaces. Ung i Gladsaxe is supposed to build a bridge between young people in primary and lower secondary schools, youth educations, municipal support initiatives, associations and cultural life. Based on a basic pedagogical relationship work, we aim to work, with focus on not doing activities for young people, but to do activities with young people, as well as trying to enable them to self-organize activities and projects. “Ung til ung” is an example of a project, where youngsters works with solidarity. More specifically, the project focuses on youngsters in the local community, to be more visible for the whole city, by making events for everyone. Events for young people, elderly and people from all kind of cultures, as it is an intercultural group. These events include making and eating dinner together, going to the theatre, going to concerts etc. What are the skills and expertise of key staff/persons
