All parents on parental leave with children up to the age of two are welcome to attend Svenska med baby's parent meetings. The parent meetings meet at libraries, open preschools or parks and are located in several places around Sweden. The groups meet once a week for 1.5 hours and are led by volunteer group leaders who are themselves on parental leave. The meetings are built around a theme linked to children and parenting, and the discussions are adapted to the size and language level of the group.

Singing and playing for the children are regular features, and provide opportunities for recognition, repetition and security. Through Svenska med baby's meetings, parents get the opportunity to expand their social network, community information, parental support and the opportunity to practice Swedish. Read more here

Our group leaders are mothers and fathers on parental leave who, together with their baby, lead and plan our open parenting groups. It's an easy and fun but important volunteer job. The group leader is assisted by other group leaders and supported by the coordinator. Parents on parental leave who are new and established in Sweden can become group leaders. 

You can also become a group leader for our Family Saturdays. Family Saturday group leaders do not need to be on parental leave.

Our group leaders are a very important part of our activities and a prerequisite for us to exist, together we make a difference and break segregation!

The co-organizer is responsible for the venue where our parent groups meet, for example the library or the open preschool. They help out during the meeting as far as possible and are responsible for arranging, for example, cups for coffee.

Our co-organizers are very important for our activities, do you want to become a co-organizer? Contact us for more information

As a non-profit organization, we have limited resources and can only run active groups and activities where we have funding or other partnerships.

We are constantly working to create new partnerships with municipalities and the private sector so that we can be present in more places around Sweden.

No, you and your child can go when it suits you.

You decide how many meetings you want to attend!

Of course it is!

Absolutely! We aim for about half of all participants in a meeting to have lived here all their lives or for a long time and the other half to be new to Sweden.

They are similar to each other, except that only fathers come to the father meetings, of course. And then slightly older children can come to the meetings, up to five years old. At the parents' meetings there are children up to two years.

The father meetings address topics related to the role of fathers.

No, moms are not welcome to the dad meetings. If you want to come together with the whole family, there are our family meetings, where everyone is welcome! The reason it's only fathers is because each meeting usually includes discussions about the role of fathers.

All three of you are welcome! Our activities are adapted for children up to five years old, but if there are older children, we do our best to also find something that they think is fun!

Most of our participants are mothers. And we know that mothers often take the greatest responsibility for children. That's why we think it's important to have special sessions for fathers. Fathers find it easier to come to these sessions because they know they won't be the only father.

There are so many and varied that it is not really possible to answer. Last year, we had participants who spoke 82 different languages at the daddy meetings.

The family meetings are organized a few times a semester and welcome the whole family with young children. Families from all over the Stockholm area socialize together, talk and exchange experiences. The meetings are built around different themes that vary from time to time.

We've had visits from clowns and magicians, created our own books, made Easter and Christmas crafts and much more. It's free, we offer coffee and you usually don't need to sign up in advance.

You and your friend's son are very welcome! We call the meetings Family Meetings because they are aimed at all children up to the age of ten.

Of course, you and your child will be able to participate even if you are not registered. But it makes it easier for us to plan if we know how many people are coming.

We always offer some kind of coffee, in other words, it's free. Everything with us is free, even materials when we do crafts or create.

No, you can come to any meeting you want, wherever you live.

Everything is free for you as a participant. Admission, materials, coffee.

We are thinking mainly of those who have retired, but are still fit. From around 65 years and up!

It's going great! You can take the opportunity to practice Swedish at the meetings.
