General Information

We are a passionate group of four. Two are Child Culture Designers working actively on ideation and execution of our mission. The other two are supporting our mission and vision through administrative and creative work in their own areas of expertise.
We apply for public and private funding in order to execute our work. We are a non-profit organisation and a for-profit organisation, so according to the sources of funding available, and the opportunity, we take up projects under one of the two branches we have established.
We work alongside, for example, Öppna Förskolor, Tikitut, and other likeminded organisations and projects.

Mission and Objectives

Our approach revolves around inclusivity, equality, and sustainability, serving as a catalyst for inspiring expertise in child culture design and community building. We center our design philosophy on children's needs and perspectives, facilitating an approach that puts people in focus.
The heart of our work is in participatory projects, including ephemeral and enduring creations. From vibrant play spaces to interactive art and design workshops, products and installations. Our initiatives embrace people of all ages, backgrounds, classes, abilities and their surrounding environments. We cultivate spaces, experiences, and objects that resonate with all.

Main Projects / Activities

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.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We come from diverse backgrounds, and can give our expertise in many subjects, such as design, workshops, participatory design/projects, content creation, marketing, and much more.
We hope to give more than we receive, because we want to make ALF in Sweden strong, so that it can prosper and create more opportunities in the future.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We hope to gain contacts, collaborate to create bigger and better projects for the community, country

General Information

The Swedish Fellowship of Reconciliation (SweFOR) is a nonviolence movement that works for peace and justice. Our aim is a world free from violence, be it in the form of war, oppression or injustice. We are a part of IFOR - the International Fellowship of Reconciliation. We have a national board, a number of local groups, 14 staff in Sweden and 18 in Latin America, mostly on voluntary basis. Main partners are Swedish Muslims for Peace and Justice, Justapaz (Colombia), Clave (Colombia) and Sonad (Southern Sudan).

Mission and Objectives

In a world where people often react to conflict either by being passive or resorting to violence, we believe that there is a third way, the way of nonviolence. The Swedish Fellowship of Reconciliation has a long history of working for peace and reconciliation through active nonviolence. We are a Christian, ecumenical member-based organisation, that often work together with people of different faith. We bring people together in the hope of a new society – a world of peace and justice, where military might is disarmed and where conflicts are prevented by peaceful means. One of our contributions is being a presence in areas of conflict. We support local peace actors in various parts of the world in their work to strengthen human rights and build peace, through non-violent methods.

Main Projects / Activities

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.

General Information

LärOlika - “Learning across differences”

Through conversations, we build bridges across divides between different parts of society.

We create new meetings and conversations between people with different experiences, perspectives and challenges. Thus everyone learns something new and bridges are built between people in different parts of society.

Mission and Objectives

The reason LärOlika started is that we believe that meetings and dialogues between people with different perspectives is important for change to happen – both on a personal level and in society as a whole. However, today most people have very few opportunities to meet individuals from other communities, since society is not structured to enable interaction across cultures/disciplines/generations.

Main Projects / Activities

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.

Tid: Onsdagen 10 maj, kl 18.00 – 20.00 (fika från 17.30)

LärOlika möten handlar om att prata med nya människor och om nya frågor – ibland på nya sätt. Att spela spel är ett sätt att möta varandra. Vi kommer därför spela några enkla spel – spel som kan få dig att tänka till, och hjälpa till att skapa ett nytt samtal. Inga förkunskaper behövs, och du är lika välkommen om du älskar eller avskyr spel, är van eller aldrig spelat något!

Vi hoppas på nya perspektiv kring spelande – och nya möten genom spel och samtal. Vi kommer hämta inspiration från Världskulturmuseets nya utställning om spel till både samtalen och spelandet.

Det kostar inget att delta, men vi hoppas att alla som deltar bidrar med sina tankar, sitt lyssnande, och spelande!
