Our Work & Key Projects

The 3M Method (2014–2020)

Between 2014 and 2020, Act For Integration developed the 3M method to enhance integration efforts in Skåne, Sweden. This initiative focused on language cafés and volunteer collaboration to strengthen the rights of women and girls. The method was based on three key pillars:

• Meeting Places – Creating inclusive spaces where newcomers and locals can connect.

• Mentorship – Engaging volunteers and community members to support and guide women and girls.

• Opportunities – Promoting education, cultural engagement, and social participation.

• Through the 3M Method (Human Rights, Diversity, Opportunities), we contributed to building a more inclusive society, enabling women and girls in Skåne, Sweden, to actively participate in cultural and social life.

• Between 2015 and 2020, over 2,000 individuals in Simrishamn, Hammenhög, and Borrby participated in volunteer-led Swedish language classes as part of the 3M Method project.

• Additionally, the project established also RådRum in Simrishamn with the collaboration  HUT Skåne.

• The 3M Method was an integration initiative in Skåne, built on three key pillars: meeting places, mentorship, and opportunities. The project focused on enhancing language skills, engaging with civil society, and empowering women and girls. Through these efforts, it contributed to greater social integration and empowerment for women and girls in the region.

Specially Unknown (2017–2019)

Act For Integration was Sweden’s partner in Specially Unknown, a European oral history project designed to promote the participation of refugees in cultural and social life. The project expanded upon the Dutch initiative Ongekend Bijzonder, applying innovative approaches such as:

• Life stories

• Co-creation

• Cultural productions

This initiative was carried out in partnership with organizations in Antwerp, Paris, Bochum, and Turin and included research in nine EU Member States (The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, and Sweden). The goal was to explore how cultural participation can serve as a tool for refugee integration, fostering a more inclusive society.

Kvinnofridsgalan 2025 ( 2024-2025)

Act For Integration played a key role in Kvinnofridsgalan, with our dedicated volunteers contributing to the creation of this remarkable event. Act For Integration and Kvinnokraftbyrån were the hosts, collaborating with Sparbanken Skåne, Malmö Stad, and Pro Produktion. This celebration honored the invaluable work of women's shelters and women's organizations. The evening was a tribute to their life-saving efforts and a platform for building strong alliances for the future. Together, we recognized the extraordinary contributions made every day to women’s rights, safety, and equality. During the event, the Kvinnokraft 2025 honorary award was presented to inspiring individuals who empower us all to stand strong.

 

Beyond our key projects, Act For Integration is continuously dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals for a better life. Through mentorship, education, and social inclusion initiatives, we help people build confidence, skills, and networks that enable them to thrive in society.
