Ungdomshuset, Cultural center in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, Denmark
Ungdomshuset is a cultural center in Nørrebro that hosts concerts, exhibitions, and community activities. The building contains multiple spaces where performances, art, meetings, and social gatherings take place throughout the week.
The center originated in the 1980s as a meeting place for youth movements and relocated in 2008 after its original site was demolished. This move marked an important moment in the community's effort to maintain its youth-driven character.
The space brings together people from different backgrounds who gather regularly for music, art, and shared meals that foster connection. Its open approach to programming reflects values of inclusion and mutual support among those who use it.
Entry is guided by basic rules against violence, racism, sexism, hard drugs, and discrimination, creating a safe environment for everyone. Visitors should expect the program to be run by volunteers and check ahead for what is happening.
The center is entirely run by activist volunteers who organize everything from concerts to meal preparation without paid staff. This structure makes it a true community project where residents manage what they want to experience.
