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.

This project aims to produce mathematics / NO videos that combine good research in subject didactics with subject content that is close to the student and outside the school environment. The videos’ experiments should be easy for students to carry out themselves and should appeal to students who risk failing grades in mathematics / NO. The videos should also be able to be used in research on the effect of upended teaching design and as inspiration in teacher training.

The goal is to facilitate the dental student’s learning of practical elements in education. By bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, we hope that students will be better prepared and equipped for the treatment of patients. In addition, our hope is that students will be more motivated to absorb knowledge when it is presented in fun and innovative ways.

The aim is to start activities in our region that help to increase the local involvement of children throughout our city, to give them tools to make their voices heard, and to encourage them to learn about the world around them, trust sources and read news regularly. Through meetings, we want to boost solidarity in different residential areas in Malmö. We want to achieve a cross-border collaboration between schools, libraries, businesses and other activities in Malmö. The work will continue to develop after the project’s end.

Our hope is that we can reduce aggressive and disruptive behaviour, which can be a risk factor for future abuse of, for example, tobacco, alcohol and drugs (ANT) and (ASPD) antisocial personality disorder, affective behaviour and in the long run crime. Today’s high school does not have the tools and resources needed to cope with these students. By using Good Behaviour Game & Inclusive Behavioural Support in School, schools can acquire concrete tools.

Many students find it difficult to keep up in school. If you have difficulty learning a language, e.g., English, you need someone who actively explains words and sentences. With homework, you often don’t have this opportunity because you can’t get hold of your teacher. We want to investigate whether AI can bridge this and actively help students with difficulties to do better in school. We will focus on students in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas who often do not have the same help from home that they may need.

By implementing the Topper course within the school system, we want to contribute towards better mental health among children/young people in Sweden. The Topper Course aims to prevent and reduce mental and social ill-health in the future, reduce suffering for children & their family(s), relieve the burden on school staff and care services and reduce societal costs. The Topper Course is evidence-based with significant positive effects and is judged to be the best intervention in its field available in the Netherlands (www.nji.nl).

The goal is to impart good reading skills and a good language to students who have difficulty acquiring this. The target group is primarily students with reading, writing and language difficulties, to be used with a remedial teacher, individually or in a group. But the idea is also for students to be able to continue training independently, in the classroom. It must also be able to be used with students with a language disorder, students with Swedish as a second language and with students with completely normal reading, writing and language development.

The planned videos on the didactics of chemistry will show, through easily accessible theoretical background and practical examples, how chemistry teachers can use research in the didactics of chemistry in their classrooms to make chemistry more understandable and fun. The aim is to give Swedish chemistry teachers access to a new form of easily accessible further education more adapted to their work situation, to listen to e.g., during breaks or in the car, and thus promote that more research on the didactics of chemistry is used in Swedish classrooms.

The main motive of the project is to support foreign graduates who are recently arrived migrants or who are cut off the labour market (e.g., have been in Sweden for a long time but are still unemployed) to meet the labour market and broaden the target group’s understanding of Swedish working life. We are convinced that everyone in Sweden should have an equal opportunity to enter the Swedish labour market and that everyone should have the same chance, both for work and for a position that corresponds to one’s skills – and are convinced that society at large would benefit from it.

The goal is for the students to acquire extended subject-specific knowledge and at the same time develop their collaborative and generic research skills through active participation in research. The project can also create the opportunity to gain insight into whether research can be a future career and can inspire topics for future thesis which can serve as the key to the job market. In addition, the students are trained in leadership as they can act as mentors to future VIP students.

The aim of the project is to publish a textbook within two years on sleep for health care professionals, to be used in all courses on medicine and health sciences at Swedish universities and colleges. A book is not enough, the courses need to be supplemented with lectures and practical guidance during the set education. With the help of a textbook, teachers and supervisors acquire tools and tips to build their teaching on.

Via the unique method of Learning with Horses inspire and enable cross-border collaborations between the local riding school and the public sector. The Swedish riding school is unique in the world, both in terms of scope and accessibility. In Sweden, there is an average of 1.5 riding schools in each municipality, often with municipal support, which provides exceptionally good conditions for promoting public health initiatives in collaboration with the horse.

The project will be carried out with Teater Sagohuset. The purpose of the project is to, based on the latest in cognitive research, together with the performing arts, carry out a concrete collaboration to contribute to increased media and information literacy among primary school pupils.
