Studiefrämjandet Information

Studiefrämjandet is one of the largest study associations for adult education in Sweden. We work mainly in the field of non-formal life-long learning. We have been part of the tradition of non-formal adult education – folkbildning – in Sweden since our foundation in 1959. We organise study circles, cultural events, seminars and projects in all of Sweden's municipalities. Plenty of topics Studiefrämjandet's particular specialisms are nature, animals, the environment and culture. But our topics vary and always depend on what our participants want to study. It might be gardening, parenthood, energy transition, watercolours, pet care, languages or programming computer games.There is a strong focus on activities for young adults, especially popular music, role-playing, dance and theatre. Music accounts for almost half of everything we do. We also run a showcase, Nemis – New music in Sweden (www.nemis.se)
