Juvenia – youth research and development centre

Our goal in Juvenia – Youth Research and Development Centre is to support equal and participatory youth by combining effective research and development work.

Our activities focus on strengthening young people’s inclusion, citizenship and communality, and preventing marginalization. In the youth sector, we promote, among other things, environmental awareness, digitalization and internationalization.

We employ more than 30 researchers and developer experts who implement local, national and international research and development projects that focus on multidisciplinary youth research, as well as the development and evaluation of youth services and methods in the youth field. In addition, we offer training and expert services. During its years of operation, Juvenia has implemented more than 80 research, development and training projects related to young people.

Our core competence is youth-oriented research and development. As a learning environment for co-development, Juvenia brings together young people, stakeholders and Xamk’s own students as well as international trainees and researchers.

Our activities are financed by, for example:

• • Academy of Finland
  • Kone Foundation
  • Several Ministries (Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry)
  • Structural fund programmes (ESF, ERDF, EAFRD)
  • Foundation for Municipal Development sr.
  • Erasmus+ (Youth and Sport)
  • Central Baltic -programme
  • Nordplus-, Daphne- ja Life Long Learning -programmes
