    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our village is a typical Swedish village, but the church a multicultural fellowship serving the community in a variety of ways.
    Being part of a multicultural community in a rural setting give a variety of cultural experience. They will learn both from interactions with Swedes, but also from other nationalities who settled in Sweden and tried to get in to life here. Lots of opportunities to practice language and other cultural understanding skills.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Summertime could be in a camper van (if the Workawayer has one to bring), tent or in the greenhouse. Or a room in the church building. As the renovation proceeds a proper shared room will be available. If a host family seems a more appropriate option, we will look into that possibility.
