The programme offers a mix of psychological support and practical exercises. The community is important, with former participant’s progress inspiring new participants to set their own goals. We create a valuable community where advice and experiences are shared, which in turn is strengthening participant’s self-esteem and the ability to build a positive future in Sweden. We have piloted the activity with great success, with 40% of the former participants now in occupation.

Our programme also helps prevent social isolation and mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety.

The participants will gain tools to manage stress and to build relationships; a crucial part of wellbeing in new environments. This holistic approach helps create a feeling of safety and meaningfulness, which contribute to a sustainable integration process.

Integration and development courses

With a combination of practical tools and psychological support the participants will get:

• Stress and conflict management: Techniques to identify and deal with stress, with a focus on both working and everyday life situations.
• Non-violent communication: Different ways of expressing ones’ needs and feelings respectfully; a key to smooth social and professional relations.
• Cultural adaptation: Focusing on the distinct phases of adjustments in new cultures, like handling cultural shock and uncertainty, the participants will gain a stronger psychological resistance. The goal is to be able to easily navigate between ones’ own and Swedish society’s norms and values.
• Social relations: Practical exercises in verbal and non-verbal communication. This will enhance the participants’ ability to form and maintain relationships, in both private and professional life.
