By learning from "the Swedish model", you can develop sports on your island!

The active Swedish labour market policy can be an important asset to sport clubs. And sport clubs can be an equally important asset to employment authorities in their efforts to give unemployed people training and jobs.

In Gotland, this cooperation has achieved a great deal:

• The sport clubs have received help to refurbish sports facilities, to maintain sports venues, and to administrate offices.

• The sports clubs have also been able to recruit young people with theoretical and practical training in sports subjects.

• Unemployed and disabled people have been given meaningful training and occupations.

Now we would like to show visitors from islands participating in the NatWest Island Games some of our projects.

The projects, chosen from Gotland and the Swedish mainland, will be presented in an exhibition and four seminars on

Take this opportunity to learn how sport and society can benefit from cooperation!
