ReGeneration Week 2026 | ReGeneration 2030

The time for action is now.

A just transition isn’t something we demand of the powerful, but rather a world we build with each other. A world where indigenous sovereignty, good jobs, affordable housing, drinkable water and breathable air are one shared vision. And where the fight against fossil fuels and the fight against fascism are one shared battle.

Join us to strategise, map out the power dynamics and make plans to fight for a just transition.

SIGN UP NOW

Good sustainable food, time in nature, and fun evening activities.

The camp’s theme this year is just transition - linking our everyday struggle in our communities to the fight for climate justice. Together, we will map out where power lies, who we can count on for support, and strategically chart a path to a future worth fighting for.

ReGeneration Week 2026 will include

Interactive workshops and youth plenaries on what the just transition is and how we can get there

25 different youth grassroots organisations from the Nordic and Baltic Sea region coming together to collectively build strength and strategy

Who are the organisers?

The main organisers of RGW26 are ReGeneration 2030 - a youth organisation, uniting young activists for sustainability from the Nordic and Baltic Sea region.
We are on a mission to build youth power across the Nordic and Baltic Sea region to push for a just sustainable transformation by 2030.

ReGeneration Week 2026 was designed by the ReGeneration Week Working Group, led by youth volunteers from the ReGeneration 2030 network.

Why are we in Åland?

Åland is a special place. It’s a collection of 6,757 islands in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It’s a part of Finland, to which our archipelago is connected by sea ice during the coldest parts of winter. The main language here, however, is Swedish, and this fact has led to some interesting and inspiring political formations that led our organisation to get started here.

Why are we in Åland, anyway?

Because of its status as a language minority area and its militarily strategic position, Åland is both demilitarised (no army is allowed here by international law) and autonomous (Åland has its own Parliament and makes its own laws on a number of issues). This makes democracy much more local than in much of the region, including a strong local press and court system.

Ferries from the Stockholm area

Eckerö Linjen – often the cheapest and fastest option. Includes a 2h bus from Stockholm central bus and train station which takes you directly onto the ferry. Then at the other end, from Eckerö to Mariehamn there is a 45 minute bus. Both buses can be booked at the same time as booking the ticket for the ferry.
Viking Line – from Stockholm harbour direct to Mariehamn. Check timetables here
Tallink also operates some crossings, so if you can’t find your perfect crossing through the others it is always worth searching here

Ferries from Finland

There are 2 different ferry lines to travel from Turku and Helsinki to Åland.
Viking line (timetable)
Tallink/Silja line (timetable)

Ferries from Estonia

Timetable for Tallink here

Ferries from Latvia/Lithuania

You can get a bus to Tallinn and then an overnight ferry to Åland for a smooth journey.

While we do not recommend it, it is possible and sometimes necessary to fly all or part of the way to Åland (looking at you, friends in Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands!). The most efficient way to travel is usually via Stockholm Arlanda Airport if you are going to fly and then take the ferry.

You can catch flights from Helsinki or Stockholm directly to Mariehamn airport - use any flight scanning platform to locate timetables.

Important: The airport is a 4 km/5 minute drive from Mariehamn, which you will need to take a taxi (cost: 15€+). This route is generally much more expensive compared to the ferry (75€ or more plus taxi, compared to an 8€ ferry).

We have policies in place to guide how we interact and deal with relevant topics. This is to let you know that they exist and you can always refer to them; however, you do not need to read through them in detail nor memorise them (there will be printed copies at our main venues as well).
