A society that embraces the power of diversity.
Belong is a non-profit organisation that builds bridges between new and established Swedes. When more people are included, we all win.
Imagine what we can achieve when we see the potential of people – regardless of their background.
Confidence
We see each individual based on their ability to grow, contribute and thrive. Everyone has potential, our task is to create spaces where it is given the freedom to grow.
Power to change
We present a future that makes others want to join us. Through courage, determination and action, we make a clear difference.
Community
We believe in the power of the individual, but real change happens when we meet others. Through relationships, networks and belonging, we create a stronger society.
We create opportunities for people with different backgrounds.
Behind our efforts are committed people.
Jarl's commitment builds bridges.
"I was sitting on a beach reading about the lack of integration and thought that I could actually contribute myself - instead of just being appalled that highly educated people are not allowed to use their skills."

Meet Samira
"I know first-hand what it feels like to be new in a country and trying to find your way. Being able to share my experiences and at the same time meet people from different backgrounds feels both meaningful and inspiring. Through mentoring, I want to help create a smoother start for new arrivals and give them tools to feel at home and safe in Sweden."
