Uppsala Kommun, some schools in Uppsala and Tierp area are co-sponsors of our activities in Sweden. For our international programmes the grant proposals are being sent to ensure constant flow of funds to run our projects without any bumps.
We arrange seminars and talks at various schools in Stockholm and Uppsala area. In Tierp we have started an Integration and Understaning project with the help of local schools and Kommun. Sofar, we have two partners in Sweden, PeaceQuest International and Somaliska Föreningen, and one international partner organisation in Nairobi Kenya.
Through Education we can make a difference. We at The Educators strongly believe that education is the key to a better world. Our objectives are: Irredication of poverty through empowerment and skillful education. Education not only a tool to earn a living but a better way to live. With education comes awareness and understanding, train the youth to learn to listen and listen to learn. Create empathy and compation. Women's empowerment through skill and learning. Health training sessions for women to understand their own issues better. Create healthy activities for youth. Use audio and visual tools to teach them better ways of life in poverty and war stricken countries.
Intergration and understaning in Tierp. Tierp is a small town with various villages around it loaded with huge numbers of immigrants. We have already started activities on smaller scale but we are planning to arrange Mingles and Activity based evenings, we shall invite people from both sides, new comers to Sweden and those who are born here. In this way both sides can understand each other better. Under lighter moods and with fun activities, dance, music and games that are designed to learn about each other. School lectures with focus on the changing world around us. Accepting new comers in Sweden, in Uppsala and Stockholm area. And Each time we deliver lectures on different conflicts around the world. Creating awareness as to how can we deal with it? Understanding reasons behind these conflicts and come up with ways to stop them. A lot more is in the pipeline and we are working on bring them into shape.
More is always better than lesser in case if we want to be more effective. With such networks in place more organisations can come together and use their abiities and expertise to make a bigger difference. We can create awareness by various activities and combined afforts. In order to bring change in the attitudes and thinking we can spread more information and make the citizens and soon to be citizens of this country more aware of goodnesses rather than negatives attributes. Sweden is such a great society with high acceptance level. We only need to be more proactive to avoid any unwanted situation. With our expert team we can do a a lot more than even we can imagine. We have a focused group of enthusiasts with focused goals to achieve, so, we can do it. With all the success stories Sweden became one of the economic and social leaders of the world. Here we can use these experiences and help poorer countries to learn from our examples and improve their quality of life.
Being a part of such a huge and useful network a whole new world of understanding opens to us to learn from. And to do more. That leads us to; help more. Teach more. Interact more. Educate more. And exchange of experiences can help us do our work more effectively. By participating in the activities ALF Network arranges, we can expand our horizon and become better organisation to make bigger difference. All in all, we can take part in making this world a much better place for our coming generations to live in. And leave better generations to this world.
