Since 2008, Mitt Liv (“My Life” in Swedish) has worked towards an inclusive labor market that values diversity. It stems from a strong conviction about everyone's equal opportunities for jobs and equal conditions in Swedish working life. Its belief is that through new meetings we break prejudices and grow together. Their efforts are mainly aimed at two groups: employers who need knowledge, strategies and tools to successfully work with diversity and inclusion, as well as academics with a foreign background who lack jobs corresponding to their skills.

The Global Village Foundation strives to include everyone in social, economic and political life. Their role is to build connections and new knowledge that stimulates people to broaden perspectives on societal issues, as well as develop their self-awareness and views of others. Among other things, the foundation is behind Järvaveckan (“Järva Week” in Swedish), which aims to reduce the distance between elected politicians and citizens by bringing down societal barriers.

STAY CHALLENGED THROUGH IMPATIENT AND LONG-TERM CHANGE
In ten years, 50 percent of what we do will be things we do not do today. We know that change is necessary, painful at times, and a whole lot of fun. To succeed, we must constantly challenge ourselves and each other. Therefore, we urge you to draw outside the lines, walk down new paths and question norms. By engaging in innovation competitions and other strategic initiatives, you can participate and contribute to our ambitious 10/50 renewal goal.
