How? Training is delivered through filmed lectures, local workshops, and hands-on assignments, and is translated into different languages.

Why join? Because you deserve the confidence and practical tools to navigate integration on your own terms — and because a stronger network of support means a stronger community for everyone.

We meet every two weeks
We meet to chat, practice our Swedish, have fika, and support each other.
Every other time we also play table tennis the last hour (at the same venue).

We want Newcomers with Disabilities to be regarded as its own group and that their needs are met during the entire inclusion process.
Mission
Increase awareness of the conditions for asylum seekers and refugees with disabilities.
We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up and take the lead.
We empower young newcomers with disabilities in Sweden.
