Abstract [en]

Sweden is a country that welcomes immigrants and refugees every year. During 2015 the number of people applying for asylum was 167,877 of which 70,384 were unaccompanied minors (Swedish Migration Board, 2015). According to Statistics Sweden, Sweden had a population of 9,851,017 at the end of 2015. In the municipality of Svedala, located in the south of Sweden, the project Young meet young (in Swedish Unga möter unga) started in 2015, initiated by youth work practitioners. Svedala municipality had a population of 20,248 in 2014, and 20,462 in 2015. In 2015 the Migration Board designated 98 unaccompanied minors to Svedala municipality. This means that Svedala was responsible of taking care of these unaccompanied minors (Swedish Central Bureau of Statistics, 2016). The aim of Young meets young was to bring refugee youths together with Swedish youths in order to build bonds, help refugees get in to the Swedish society and provide all youths interested in the project with something meaningful and fun to do. The aim of this article is to present and reflect upon youth work practitioners’ ideas on good practice in relation to two young project participants’ experiences of Young meet young.
