Nepal Is Rising with Gen Z. Now Young People Are Building Their Own Community
In September 2025, young Nepalese took to the streets to protest corruption, nepotism, and a lack of opportunities.

They want to create a youth center where young people can meet, support one another, and find direction in life. Six young people from Huset Lucerna in Holbæk have helped them take the first steps. When they returned to Denmark, they brought Nepal with them-through a photo exhibition, a documentary, Nepali food, and conversations about what it means to be young.
