Our team member Akram has a passion.
Passion that everyone who comes to Sweden feels welcomed.
Everyone, who leaves their country because they have to, not because they want to.
Welcomed and supported by a LOCAL FRIEND, who cares that NEWCOMER FRIEND enjoys their integration process, has someone to go for a fika together, to call to or just to text with.
Having passed through integration processes by himself, Akram fully understands the need of a friend upon arrival to Sweden. Especially a friend, who have gone through same processes, thus can easily relate to the experience of newcomer. Unlike in middle eastern or african culture, friendships in Sweden takes time to build. Akram, together with the whole team, is passionate to fill that gap and offer FRIENDSHIP WITHOUT BORDERS for every newcomer upon arriving.
That is why, we are running an initiative FRIENDS WITHOUT BORDERS and inviting locals and newcomers to join us on a way to integration. Initiative is carried as a FOLLOW-UP of Erasmus+ Capacity building for youth project “Migration to Integration”.
