Before this experience, I did not really experience allophony in my daily life. I had travelled abroad and even lived one year and a half in Italy. However, I spoke some Italian and the language is very close to my mother tongue, which was a very prudent choice of mine. This time I am landing in a country where the...

March is here already and time is flying by at a frightening speed. A snap of fingers later and I just celebrated my 25 years old birthday here with new people that I do not dare to call friends yet. Beginning of new year and slowly winter fading away. For this occasion I could not avoid being a stereotypical...

As the first month of the year January is usually viewed as a heavy month full of thoughts about the future and what the year will be like. Of course our future is important, but we also need to think about the kids, and Fjället staff was super ready to take on this challenge during Planning Days!
We spent...

I am writing my first clumsy words to share my experience as a long term volunteer in Kooperativet Fjallet. My name is Ariane and I am from France. Those last five months I started working with youth and discovering the joys and sorrows going along with it. A lot of patience, some moments of frustrations but true rewards of pure...

December has been a very cozy month here in Fjället. I had the opportunity to participate in a lot of activities prepared for Mini-Fjallet which were so fun that even Big-Fjallet kids wanted to participate!
The most successful activity was indeed making gingerbread houses! The smell of toasted cookies and sugar was an addictive formula for the...

November was a much calmer month than October. With no festivities coming up and not much scheduled, work wasn't too demanding. I decided to use this time mainly to plan future workshops and prepare for Orange Week.
We held a very creative workshop for the Mini-Fjället kids—a painting and craft activity at the Rannebergen meeting place, themed...

Hey everyone!October has been a really active month here in Sweden. We had several events at Fjället, and I spent a lot of time preparing for Halloween. I ended up collecting recycled materials and making props, which was surprisingly fun. Most of the activities I organized were for Mini-Fjället, so I really focused on them this month.

My First Month in Sweden: Challenges, Surprises, and Gratitude
From September until now, my first month in Sweden has been both challenging and full of surprises from the very beginning. I had little time to organize everything before coming, but I knew I had to take this chance and live it to the fullest.

Min tid som volontär i Larache, Marocko börjar närma sig sitt slut, och det känns både overkligt och väldigt fint att få reflektera över allt vi har hunnit med. I lite mer än en månad har jag haft förmånen att arbeta med teater tillsammans med en fantastisk grupp barn mellan 9 och 13 år.

From April until now, my journey as a youth leader at Kooperativet Fjället has felt like an adventure filled with colors, experiences, and inspiring people. It all started in Stockholm, where I met other young leaders and, through training, received the tools and knowledge we needed to begin our own adventure.
