Föräldrakraft
Listening We believe that confident parents raise confident children. With the right support and tools, parents can help their children succeed in school and find their way in life. Through the “ Föräldrakraft ” project, parents can come together in a safe community, share experiences, and grow as parents.
Föräldrakraft – a project within Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad
Föräldrakraft is a new project within Erikshjälpen's Framtidsverkstad, which currently operates in seven locations in Sweden.
The aim is to empower parents to support their children in the challenges they face at school and in life. During parent meetings, participants exchange experiences, but also learn more about how society works and how they can support their children.
Empowered parents mean secure children and a better future for everyone
A dream project financed by the Postcode Lottery
In the fall of 2025, Erikshjälpen received 11.3 million Swedish kronor (SEK) from the Postcode Lottery to launch and run its dream project, “ Föräldrakraft, ” for four years.
Future workshop for young people and their parents
Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad are gathering places where children and young people have the opportunity to bring about positive change for themselves and others based on their needs, interests, and dreams. Through “ Föräldrakraft ,” the program also aims to inspire active parenting and strengthen family relationships.
Föräldrakraft focuses on the whole family and on creating a natural setting for long-term engagement in the area.
