• Refugee ed project: Effective methods in education, mental health and psychosocial support for the integration of refugee children.

• Youth Center: A meeting place for children and young people for meaningful activity, learning and better everyday life.

• NEETs for NEETs: 

Support Group Network participates in the Erasmus+ project NEETs for NEETs - Improving inclusive methods to empowering young adults together with partners in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Belgium.

The project aims to prevent exclusion in order to get the target group into work or further education, in addition to increasing the teachers' competence. The project focuses on including NEETs and empowering them. The ReACT model has a central role in the project. The model was developed by refugees at Sweden's largest asylum reception, Restad Gård, in 2014. When the waiting time at the asylum reception was over a year, the refugees themselves took the initiative to share their knowledge and skills with other refugees so that they could create meaning in the long waiting time and build something for the future.

• Next step Sweden:

The purpose of the project is to increase the self-sufficiency of the target group of asylum seekers and to improve the mental state. This means that the project must work with health-promoting activities as well as guide and supervise the target group, improve the conditions for employment/practice or that entrepreneurs are given the conditions to start and run sustainable businesses.

Support Group Network's relationship with asylum seekers and new arrivals together with the developed cooperation model provides unique conditions for asylum seekers, new arrivals and foreign-born to achieve increased self-sufficiency.
