The goal of my project is to publish an informational book that focuses on special-needs siblings. The book will include interviews with both children and adult siblings, relatives and people who meet special-needs siblings in their profession. Information, quotes and reflections will be mixed with tips and facts. The target group for the book is of course the special-needs siblings and their relatives, but also everyone who in their profession or in another way comes into contact with special-needs siblings.

Publishing a book on developing actors with intellectual disabilities through an established non-fiction publisher increases the chances of both greater and correct dissemination. It will be more easily discovered by libraries and educational institutions and be of higher quality than one which is self-published. The book will fill the void that exists in how to work to enable the transition to a professional life for actors with intellectual disabilities.

One goal of the book is to provide a broad picture of what intelligence can be where more abilities and in the longer term more perspective can be included. Hopefully the book broadens the horizons of how together we can solve complex issues and problems where as many as possible are involved so that we together with other people, machines, octopuses, bacteria or whatever it may be can find alternative paths that open up new worlds.

The purpose is to inventory, make available and disseminate poems that people around the Baltic Sea wrote in Latin and Greek for some 300 years. Many of these poems have never been published, others are in hard-to-find editions from the 17th and 18th centuries. Another reason is to present our poems from Sweden in a larger international historical context, to show how people migrated in the Baltic Sea region, what contacts they had with each other, how they thought, lived and created.

Our book will strengthen children’s and young people’s bond to Malmö. It will open doors to subject areas that are otherwise mostly accessible to adults. Since we start from real houses and places in Malmö, everyone will recognize them, at least some of them, and the rest will be easy to discover and explore. Through everyday experiences, we inspire reflections, share knowledge, give the key to new worlds of thought. We encourage readers to build on, both on our book and on Malmö’s development.

The goal of this project is to publish an easy-to-read fictional story targeting young people aged 13 to 15 years. The short story should be able to be successfully read and used by schools in the teaching and learning about the Holocaust. The secondary goal is to create a script that can lead to a TV production.

The goal is to be able to develop and complete a software program that reduces the time spent per second-hand product handled by the company. The goal is for Minikit to be able to reduce the time expenditure by 30% and be able to offer this software to other (usually) small start-up companies in the second-hand trade, which can then become profitable more quickly.

The project, We are Entrepreneurs is mainly about creating an interest in young people and young adults in entrepreneurship and a greater insight into what it is like to create your own brand, age 17 – 24 years. We offer a platform, training, a network and income-generating activities for a greater insight into one’s own obligations and rights in society for a step closer to the individual’s goals. We create entrepreneurs where young people themselves are at the helm and we the expertise. We will also tend young people’s skills in terms of computer skills and creativity.

We want to contribute to a more sustainable textile consumption by making it easier for consumers and brands to repair and reuse textiles. Thus, contributing to goal 12 in the global sustainability goals. Further we also want to contribute to goal 10, reducing inequality by offering new jobs in Sweden, especially to skilled tailors who have immigrated to Sweden and who in many cases have difficulty entering the labour market. Finally, we want to build a good service / company that can create growth.

The purpose of the project initially is to help parents to a stable meal situation, right from the start. If you as a parent can leave it to the child to decide how much and in what way the child eats, you can also be sure that the child in most cases gets enough to grow and develop in a healthy way. With knowledge and joy, the whole family will thrive!

Performing Arts and Communication Skills, PACS aims to develop an educational activity that is designed to help cultural practitioners meet the challenges of the future. Partly as a specifically designed course at university level and partly as renewal work of structures in a true cross-border arena. PACS has the ambition to create a forum for professional development in terms of artistic entrepreneurship, artistic leadership and cross-border artistry.

Ironic AB offers a unique product that consists of plant-based iron proteins. These proteins are aimed at treating and preventing iron-deficiency and anaemia (IDA). The company has already characterized the proteins and established their production at large scale. Initial experiments with our proteins, using certified cell models that mimic iron absorption in humans, showed high levels of iron absorption at a comparable level to the best iron-rich sources (meat and beans). Such high absorption was absorbed also when added to foods e.g., almond milk, a common plant-based food.

In summary, our business idea is based on the production of micro-greens that are sold to restaurants, grocery stores and Food Bag companies. Bladverkstaden wants to provide the restaurant industry and the grocery trade a locally produced, nutritious and beautiful product. We see a strong trend and demand for locally produced vegetables in the Swedish market, something that is in line with our business concept.

The purpose of the project is to develop a concept for small-scale cultivation for own use by constructing an allotment area in the sea along the coast of Kivik. The project also aims to increase marine awareness and marine knowledge through courses in marine farming, as well as by establishing two information platforms in Kivik and Simrishamn. The allotment in Kivik is the first of its kind in the Baltic Sea. The benefits of such allotments are to acquire better knowledge and understanding of marine environment, marine awareness and blue proteins / food.

Malmö is a city with great segregation and with several particularly vulnerable areas. We want to finance homework help for students at risk schools in Malmö during the academic year 2022/2023. Each homework-help group consists of 15 students with weak grades who need our support in their studies. To finance this in a school year, we are applying for a SEK 180,000 grant. A homework-help group with fifteen students in a school can make a big difference and not just for the students who are selected to participate.

The project aims at improved cost efficiency and safety for future long span constructions focusing on wooden constructions. During the past year, the risk of collapse due to instability problems has been highlighted for several large wooden buildings in Sweden and (at least) one building has collapsed. Through the development of teaching materials on instability phenomena, the level of knowledge of designers can be improved and thus more efficient and safer buildings can be designed.

The purpose of the project is to improve the conditions for teaching physics with digital support in primary and secondary schools, but also introductory courses at universities. Optics is very suitable for online teaching and digital support and the modules we have developed have the potential to improve teaching and inspire more students and get them interested in physics.

“Crack the code!” is a project that aims to give children and young people in schools (focus 7-9 years) tools for navigating an increasingly complex information landscape characterized by social media and increasing knowledge resistance. Educators should be able to easily use the project’s results to work with the topic in school. Students should be given the prerequisites to crack the code behind conspiracy theory stories that the world is ruled by evil forces that are out to manipulate us.

To create a general educational and entertaining series about TV history together with production companies, based on our beloved and much talked about Christmas Calendars. The series will highlight places and people behind the Calendars, such as Hjularöd Castle in Harlösa which became “Greveholm” and Möllegården at Kulturens Östarp which became the filming location for “It will be Christmas at Möllegården” and highlight screenwriters, actors, costumes, directors and other creators who have been part of the creative process.

We see a future where music education is appreciated for the tools it gives us to better understand ourselves and the world we live in. Music’s inherent power and significance for every human being and our culture is indisputable. This project is based on the desire to preserve and strengthen the position of music and to give children and young people the knowledge and tools they need to be able to continue to see the importance of music and culture as a fundamental part of our nature.
