Voice4You empowers young voices

We give young people the knowledge and tools to take part in public debate. Using the methods and ethical rules of journalism, they learn to create content that others can trust.

Voices on our work

What others say

Mobile Stories combines an understanding of journalism and publishing ethics with practical experience in a way that strengthens both source criticism and democratic participation. It gives young people insight into what characterizes credible content — both what they create themselves and what they encounter as media consumers. This is fully in line with our mission to safeguard high-quality, free, and independent media.

As Värmland’s largest newsroom, we want to help young people realise how fun AND IMPORTANT journalism is – and also give young people the opportunity to publish their own articles with us.

About us

A non-profit association

Voice4You is a non-profit association working with young people’s voices and media and information literacy. In many of our projects we use the Mobile Stories method, in which students try journalistic methods: from idea and research to interviews, source checking and publishing. The association was founded by journalists Lotta Bergseth and Jenny Sköld.

The association is open to members. Would you like to become a member? Get in touch.

Disinformation and polarization risk eroding young people’s engagement and trust in democracy. By working with educational tools to create credible content themselves, they also learn to recognize quality in others’ publications.
