Järva Kultur & Sport - Cultural activation of Järva, Stockholm

Abstract: Studies have shown that kids and youths that grow up in segregated communities with parents who have low social knowledge are most likely to struggle as adults. Last year I was part of an ideal group called Löparakademin, this group's mission was to gather youths in different suburbs and have different activities with them  for 10 weeks, the main one being to run. Throughout these weeks they have different types of workshops and lectures touching on topics that usually aren't brought up in either school or by their parents. My aim with the project is to integrate the suburb and break the segregation between the areas in the suburb, through sports and cultural activation.
