Different Comenius, Lingua, Grundtvig and Leonardo projects over the last ten years.

Community focused work with an emphasis on bringing children into decision making roles in the projects. We strive to work with the community, for the community, which means we also work WITH children, FOR children. The heart of our work is in participatory projects, putting the community first, including ephemeral and enduring creations.

From vibrant play spaces to interactive art and design workshops, products and installations, physical or digital. Our initiatives embrace people of all ages, backgrounds, classes, abilities and their surrounding environments. We cultivate spaces, experiences, and objects that resonate with all.

So far, we have been focused on building the organisation and establishing our reputation. We have worked with Öppna Förskola Lövgärdet on a workshop. We have collaborated with Tikitut on a small project in Angered. We are also co-applying for a larger project with Tikitut in 2024. We have a booth at Frihamnsdagarna, and at Angereds Bokmässan in 2024, so we hope to reach out and spread the word there as well.

We give courses in nonviolence, conflict resolution and peaceful conflict management. We send volunteers to Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia, where they support local peace-building efforts and protect human rights defenders. We work for disarmament and improved control over the arms trade through codes of conduct, laws and regulations. We promote peace and reconciliation in the Middle East through advocacy work. SweFOR also analyses security and defence policy in Sweden and is pushing for world leaders to sign up to forceful disarmament agreements and to prevent violent conflict.

The municipal leisure activities in Västra Hisingen have activities primarily for young people. There are also many associations in the neighborhood that engage both young and older. Libraries offer activities for all generations.
For those who are young, there are holiday homes in Västra Hisingen that are open in the afternoons and evenings.
You who are between the ages of 16 and 25 can also participate in or create their own recreational activities within the Youth initiative Hisingen.
As a senior in West Hisingen, you can enjoy a lot of everyday culture for the elderly, including the neighborhood's two meeting points for seniors.

Our enterprise, which is an international one, consists of culture activities for children and adults. Completion of national and international projects, competence development and different applicable and non applicable cooperations.

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundations supports women in conflict-affected regions. We do so by cooperating with 140 partner organisations across the world.
 

We believe in dialogue and long-term partnership. Our strength is that we get to know our partners, listen to them and support their priorities. We do not tell our partners what we believe the solution should be: we trust that they know that best themselves.

Our 13 country offices allow us to be responsive and stand by our partners in their struggle.

1- Doing the social and traditional activities and folklore.
2- Doing some activities on the issues of integration in the new society.

Courses
Courses that target people with different backgrounds and interests for conversations to learn from each other. Each course is free of charge and consists of five meetings in different locations and with different themes. We provide process management - the participants bring the content, in conversations with each other.

Workshops
We hold specialized workshops for organizations and companies. We create new kinds of conversations and exchanges of experience where everyone, regardless of their role, contributes with their own thoughts and perspectives.

Tools and networks
Through the tens of thousands of unique conversations that LärOlika has created, we have also developed a variety of tools and methods to create the best possible conversations - and built a network of nearly a thousand individuals with very different roles in society.

Inspiration
95% of LärOlika participants get inspired to think in new ways! If you want some inspiration, please follow us on Facebook, on Instagram @larolikasamtal, or read our blog.
