Art Lab for all at the Swedish school 2017 – Now

Art Lab has been creatively collaborating with F-9 schools in Stockholm, implementing programs focused on visual arts and design to promote integration, inclusion, and combat racism. This has been a challenging task, particularly due to the significant cultural diversity in schools in the southwestern areas of Stockholm, specifically in Alby and Skärholmen. These areas are home to youth groups who are often at risk of falling into criminality.

The effort to provide creativity as an alternative outlet to the different lifestyles in this context is scarce but immensely valuable when successful. The creative program developed by Art Lab aims to foster spaces of equality and inclusion, where students can become aware of their rights, responsibilities, and the consequences of their actions in society, starting at school.

This intense work, carried out over more than 7 years with hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds here in Stockholm, can be explored further on Instagram: @art_lab_for_all
