Kvinnor Soma Sverige

The Organization for Kvinnor Soma Sverige is an innovative, professional, active, reliable and efficient nonprofit and non-governmental organization, founded by young residents living in Stockholm Municipality, keen to exploit their competences and to play an active role in the non-profit sector. We believe young people have enormous untapped potential and can play an effective role in instigating positive change in their communities: we are hardly working to help them to fully express their enormous potential, for the benefit of the community and themselves. In a nutshell, Kvinnor Soma Sverige mission is focused on: - the promotion of the integration of new migrants and refugee into Swedish society - the promotion of youth participation and active citizenship - the promotion of gender equality - the promotion of young people volunteering at a local, European and international level - the promotion of youth work as a flywheel in social innovation field In line with its mission, KSS promotes and carries out: - volunteering activities at a local, regional, national and international level and activities of boosting, supporting and coordinating of volunteering itself; - informative, scholastic and professional orienting, cultural, social, recreational and editorial activities; - seminar and formative training aimed to organizations, social and youth workers; - formative, promotional and informative initiative related to specific themes linked with the third sector. From day one, KSS cooperates with organizations, local bodies and institutions that foster similar objectives, especially with the Stockholm Municipality. From day one, KSS works, by the medium of thematic working groups, on social inclusion, migrants and minorities and carries out transversal activities for youth workers: among these a coordinated subgroup works specifically on the EVS and on the coordination and promotion of the activities linked to it. From day one KSS looks at the Erasmus+ programme as a springboard: today we are ready to take flight.
