Projects are meant to bring a specific focus to a practical task or theme carried by the group, a part of the group or an individual participant. All group projects will directly benefit the local community or an international initiative.

The first two weeks of the program will be a practical group project, intending to help you arrive and get to know each other. Group projects are being planned to happen throughout the year in Järna and the neighboring city of Södertälje.

The intention for these projects is:

• Participants learn new skills and capacities.
• During the project there is a positive impact made in the community.

Current ideas are building playgrounds gardens and cultural activities for the asylum seeking community in Södertälje and beginning a walkway that will connect all the initiatives in Järna to open this amazing community to the public.

You will be invited to spend time on your personal initiative. This initiative could come out of an important question or a theme, which may be inspired by the curriculum or your future goals.

There is an intention that the program supports you to deepen the questions and themes which challenge and inspire you. YIP will encourage you to bring forth these themes, so that your work with them can be supported.

There will be space throughout the year to present themes from these personal initiatives, focussing on both the end-result and the process itself.
