Listening Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad a meeting place where children, youth and parents have the opportunity to create positive change for themselves and others based on their needs, interests, and dreams. The goal is to level out unequal growing-up conditions.
How We Create Long-Term Positive Change
Together with children, young people, and parents, we aim to create opportunities for personal development, social mobilization, and participation in the development of their own neighborhoods. By strengthening the dreams, motivations, and abilities of the target group, we help build faith in the future. And that enables long-term positive change.
Together with Erikshjälpen Second Hand
We collaborate with Erikshjälpen Second Hand. In our stores, both young people and parents can make connections, build social networks, and develop the skills needed to meet the demands of the workforce. And in doing so, find their place in the workforce.
The work is also carried out in close collaboration with municipal activities, the business community, and other civil society organizations.
Child participation
We make young people's voices heard
In areas where Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad operates, many young people feel that the image of their neighborhood and its residents is very negative. They want to help change that. That is why Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad has become a platform where young people can make their voices heard by the public and policymakers.
Children's right to education and leisure

The dream project Föräldrakraft
We empower parents
In the “ Föräldrakraft ” project, parents come together in a safe community to share experiences and grow in their parenting roles. The goal is to empower parents so they can support their children as they face challenges at school and in life. During parent meetings, participants not only exchange experiences but also learn more about how society works and how they can support their children.
