Opportunities
Over 2,000 refugees across Skåne participated in the project through language support, mentoring, community engagement, and social inclusion activities. Together with HUT Skåne, Act For Integration established RådRum in Simrishamn, creating a local meeting place where newcomers could access practical support, civic orientation, social networks, and opportunities to build a sense of belonging and participation in their new communities.

A European oral history and cultural participation project, Specially Unknow developed in partnership with organizations across Europe to strengthen refugee inclusion through storytelling, co-creation, and cultural engagement.
Kvinnofridsgalan
In 2025, Act For Integration launched Kvinnofridsgalan, a gala dedicated to honoring the extraordinary women’s organizations, shelters, and advocates who support women and girls affected by violence, abuse, and inequality.
Their work creates safety, hope, and opportunities for thousands of women and girls every year.
