Description of organisation

Ung Fritid is a part of the Culture and Leisure department in Haninge Municipality and we are working for the youth in our city.
We have eight youth centers where we have after school activities for youths. Our main target groups at the youth centers are youngsters between 13-16 years old, we also provide activities for the ages 10-19. Our target groups lives in very different areas, we have rural and urban areas, we have areas with social economical challenges and we have areas with high economical standards and we have everything in between.
We strongly think that young people need a place where they can set their own agenda. A space where they can explore, articulate and develop their interests and talents, as well as their ideas for their future. A place where they get inspiration and support to develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. In order to achieve this we work with informal and formal learning to provide them with the skills they need to grow both personally and socially.
We work for inclusion and participation of our youths in all planning, implementation and evaluation of our activities. Our youth centers should also be a place where our visitors can relax and and have a good time with this friends.
We have an accreditation for Erasmus+ youth and work with youth exchanges to include our target groups on an international level and give them opportunities to be a part of EU and give them experiences and knowledge to use for build their future.
