Prometheus camps

The camps are named after the Greek myth of the titan Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to the people.

[2] In 2009 the Prometheus camp movement spread to Sweden where a sister organization to Protu, Protus Sverige [fi], was formed.

The Prometheus Camp Association is a collaborative partner of the International Humanist and Ethical Youth Organisation (IHEYO).

For young people who have passed this age Prometheus organizes so called senior camps.

All camps deal with the following themes: differences and discrimination, intoxicants and addiction, the environment, society and participation, human relationships and sexuality, the future, worldviews and beliefs.

[10] Campers are encouraged to share their own views and perceptions and discuss them, as well as take into account the often-different opinions of others.

At the celebration the campers receive a wreath made out of fresh branches or flowers, and a silver Prometheus medallion.

In popular literature, the events of the novel Kipinä (2006), or Spark by Salla Simukka, take place at a Prometheus camp.
