languages, meet personnel from other countries and experience
other cultures in Europe.
The
Town Twinning programme- "Europe for citizens"(Citizens
meetings)
So called citizens meetings are being planned
for together with Alsfeld in Hjo May 2008. The purpose with these
meetings is to create connections with each other and to visualize
the project. It is important that the project activates the local
society and that the participants have an active role in the organisations.
It is also important to focus on the European content, i.e. to
supply knowledge about the European Union and about the lives
of the Union citizens.
European Social Fund Project together with
12 other Folk High Schools in Sweden.
The purpose with this project is to employ persons that have difficulties
to enter the labour market. The project is carried out in collaboration
with the Swedish Employment Agency, the Swedish Social Insurance
Agency and the Municipal Social Welfare Services Departments.
The duration of the project is three years and is coordinated
by Furuboda/Bollnäs Folk High School and Gävleborg region´s
county council and is partly financed by the European Union. The
purpose is that within this project people with social disabilities
will have the opportunity to study and to do internships.
