- Youth and education
The Left Youth of Finland is a political youth organization and a civic organization. Its central values are socialism, democracy, feminism, red-green environmentalism and internationalism. These goals are not considered to be separate, but rather form a comprehensive view of a freer, more humane and more equal world. We in The Left Youth consider an ideal society - an ideal world - to be a place, in which every individual can live without fear and in which every individual is granted the right, as well as the possibility, to study and work. In addition, healthy and clean environment should be considered a right everyone is entitled to in a society.
To achieve its objectives The Left Youth promotes various forms of political activity: demonstrations are regarded as equally worthwhile as operating within the limits of party politics. The Left Youth organises national campaigns concerning issues important for us. The Left Youth also holds seminars and courses on politics and organisations work. The Left Youths campaigns have recently been about feminism, worker's rights, against racism and for immigrant rights and against NATO.
