Abstract [en]

This study has examined the effect of sharing physical space on the interactions

between the majority and the minority. It is a case study of the change of location of the

language introduction program in Landskrona to the main building of the national high

school students in 2019. The study utilized the qualitative method, conducting one semi-

structured expert interview and seven in-depth semi-structured interviews with students

graduating high school in 2020. The selection of participants was made up of students

experiencing the environment at the high school before and after the language introduction

program moved in. The study showed indications of a multicultural environment in which

the move-in of the language introduction program was not acknowledged by the majority

group of the school. Constrict theory was used to explain that the school consisted of

groups divided by ethnicity, which explained the fact that they did not know about the

program moving into their building. Sharing physical space did not seem to have a major

effect on the interactions between the majority and the minority group. Sharing physical

space contributed to an increase in bonding social capital; however, there are no indications

of a rise in bridging social capital between the national high schoolers and the language

introduction program.
