Young adult and pondering about the future?
Take a gap year and try volunteer jobs within Sweden or abroad. European Youth Portal.
Maybe you should try to apply for jobs within the Nordic countries via Nordjobb? https://www.nordjobb.org/sv/soek-jobb.
Are you a group that wants to travel together and meet other youth?
Leader Sixth offers youth exchange between Leader Bergslagen's young people and young people in their member municipalities. Our contact person there is Sanni Rinne and can be easily reached at sanni.rinne@kuudestaan.net.
The Finnish network for youth within Leader has contact information on the page https://www.nuorisoleader.fi/yhteystiedot/. Vivi at the Leader Office knows both Anu and Riikka there and can be helpful with contacts.
Moreover, all of Europe is at our feet. What are you curious about?
How is an Erasmus+ exchange planned?
- Find a group of at least 8 young people, a maximum of 15 young people. In addition, one or two adult leaders are needed to accompany you.
- Wish for a theme for the trip, for example rural challenges, environment, nature, forest tourism, languages, sports, etc.
- Gather young people from 14 years of age and up. These are matched with a group of Finnish young people of the same age.
- Consider a suitable time for the trip. The trip will take 7 days: 1 day trip to Finland, 5 days in place, 1 day trip home to Bergslagen.
- Handpick responsible young people for this who are a little adventurous! The trip will involve train changes, flights, language practice and will be a memory for a lifetime!
- Find young people who both want to go on a trip themselves and who will host the Finnish group at a later date and show them Bergslagen.
What is ERASMUS+ you might be wondering...

A little more info
Erasmus+ does not pay salaries to accompanying adults. However, it covers all the aforementioned costs (travel, accommodation, activities).
The only thing the young people need to bring with them is any pocket money.
The young people sign an agreement before departure to behave themselves and not take drugs, drink alcohol, etc. If they abuse this trust, they are immediately sent home at their own expense.
