Stadsmissionen
This organisation is an organization that has existed all over Sweden for over 50 years. They have one goal, which is to help people in need. They believe that people should always be treated with empathy and respect. In Gothenburg they have over 20 activities for people in need without regard to their age or situation.
Description
The IPP focuses on the causes and effects of youth segregation in Gothenburg. The participants will identify the different types of segregation that occur in the city through visits to different organizations and their activities. The participants will then be able to compare the types of segregation that occur, their causes and solutions, and compare it with what occurs in their own country. Participants will also have the opportunity to plan and deliver activities inspired by their experience with the different organizations. The purpose of the IPP is to make a more inclusive society for youth in Gothenburg.

Practical Contribution

Together with the partner organization participants will host a camp for youth and their parents during the summer. The purpose is to provide an activity, which can give people in Gothenburg the chance to enjoy their summer regardless of their culture, economical or socio-political situation. Participants will also assist in other activities to be able to compare and contrast which types of segregation occur in Gothenburg and how they are counteracted.
