Project Playground

Our vision is a world where every child and youth grow up with a belief in the future Project Playground creates hope for the future. Create Belief.

It makes a lasting, positive impact on children’s lives and reduces the risk of vulnerability and social exclusion. By offering meaningful leisure activities, the organization empowers children and young people in both Sweden and South Africa. With a holistic approach, combining education, structured activities led by qualified leaders, and tailored support, Project Playground provides a safe have

n and new perspectives for children and young people who need it most. Project Playground was founded in 2010 by H.R.H. Princess Sofia and Frida Vesterberg with the aim of improving life opportunities for children and young people in vulnerable communities. The organization began its operations in the township of Langa, just outside Cape Town, South Africa, where it offered a safe environment away from the streets, providing children with opportunities to develop through play, sports, and educational programs. Since then, Project Playground has expanded to Sweden, establishing a presence in Hallonbergen and soon Skärholmen outside Stockholm.

A school year with Skärholmen Tillsammans💚

This school year, Project Playground Sweden has coordinated Skärholmen Tillsammans, a joint initiative led by us, with support from Gålöstiftelsen, in close collaboration with Skärholmens stadsdelsförvaltning and a strong and amazing network of local associations.

Together, we have created opportunities for children and young people across Skärholmen through after-school activities at every municipal primary school in the district, as well as Winter Camp, Spring Camp and a range of other activities. The demand has remained strong throughout the year, highlighting the need for accessible and structured free-time opportunities for children and young people in the area.

The past year has brought a wide range of activities, new experiences and new connections. Children and young people have had the chance to try different sports and activities, meet local organisations and spend time in safe and welcoming environments close to home.

The last few weeks have been a good way to round off the school year. We have met with the collaborating organisations to reflect on the year, share insights and start planning for Summer Camp in July and the upcoming autumn term.

At its core, Skärholmen Tillsammans is about working together to make it easier for children and young people to take part in meaningful activities and become part of community life.

As the school year comes to an end, we want to thank Skärholmens stadsdelsförvaltning, Gålöstiftelsen and all the associations and partners who have contributed throughout the year.

We look forward to continuing the work together🧩

We’re proud to introduce Playground Talks, a new initiative by Project Playground created to bring young voices into direct dialogue with people whose life experiences can inspire, challenge and broaden perspectives.

The aim is simple, but important: to create a space where young people can ask questions, share reflections, and explore real-life perspectives in an open and respectful setting guided by conversation rather than presentation.

The first Playground Talks session took place in Hallonbergen, where young participants gathered with Project Playground staff for an afternoon of dialogue and reflection. Our first guest was police officer Clarisse Jaures, who shared insights from her personal journey and professional experience, with a focus on her work related to youth, safety and community.

The conversation moved between personal questions and broader societal themes such as belonging, identity, pressure, trust and group dynamics, exploring how situations can shift depending on environment and the people around you. Through guided discussions and real-life scenarios, the group reflected on the influence of peers, the complexity of everyday choices, and how challenging, yet important, it can be to stand by your own values.

This is just the beginning of Playground Talks. A space for exchange and reflection, where young people are not only part of the conversation, but can also draw on these perspectives in their everyday lives and in their roles as Project Playground youth ambassadors, supporting and interacting with younger participants.

A big thank you to Clarisse Jaures for generously sharing her time and experiences, to the young participants for their openness and reflections, and to Jens Strömblad for moderating the conversation and creating a safe and thoughtful space for dialogue🧩

We are inspired to see the conversation around meaningful spare time and its connection to children's mental health and wellbeing highlighted at the Bold Ideas for Brighter Futures conference, where Project Playground South Africa partnered with Tim Bergling Foundation, an organisation leading important work to raise awareness and strengthen efforts around mental health and young people’s wellbeing.

The importance of safe, structured and meaningful activities in children’s lives is something we see every day in our work at Project Playground.

A powerful story shared in this context came from a young Project Playground participant describing how structured play has shaped his childhood, turning football into more than just an activity, but into a safe space, a support system, and a positive direction in life.

We are grateful to everyone contributing to this growing dialogue on how we can create better conditions for children and young people to thrive, and to the for Life Course Health Research for hosting us!💚

We’re proud to announce that Project Playground will once again join Skydd - Nordens största säkerhetsmässa 2026, this year as a Social Impact Partner.

For the second time, we’re part of one of the Nordics’ leading meeting places for safety and security. SKYDD brings together industry, public sector and civil society in Stockholm (20-22 October 2026) to exchange knowledge, build partnerships and explore how we can collectively contribute to a safer and more resilient society.

Our partnership with SKYDD is about keeping a clear social perspective present in the discussion, focusing on people, communities and the conditions in which children and young people grow up, as well as long-term societal development alongside the security sector.

Together with Stockholmsmässan and SKYDD, we aim to strengthen dialogue across public, private and non-profit actors, and explore how collaboration can move from discussion to real-world impact. Not as a side conversation, but as an integrated part of how we think about safety, responsibility and long-term societal development.

During the Expo you’ll find us in SKYDD’s project space, on stage in a dedicated session, and meeting exhibitors and partners across the expo. We’re there to connect, listen and continue the conversations, both before and during the event.

If you’re attending SKYDD 2026, feel free to reach out ahead of time or come by and say hello on site. And keep an eye out, we’ll share more details soon about where and how to find us at the event.

A few weeks ago, we continued our STEAM initiative together with our engaged partner SEB, who hosted two inspiring workshops for students from Vittra Brotorp. The sessions took place in SEB’s Solna office and were designed to connect learning, creativity, and real-world societal challenges through hands-on experiences.

Across both workshops, students were invited into different perspectives on innovation, economy, and society. One group worked in teams to develop their own “future companies”, tackling real societal challenges through ideas that combined creativity, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. Another group explored themes such as value, ownership, and saving through interactive exercises that sparked reflection on how everyday decisions connect to long-term opportunities. As part of the experience, the students were also invited on a guided art tour through SEB’s office, exploring how art and culture can inspire creativity and new perspectives.

Our STEAM initiative combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics to give young people practical opportunities to explore creativity, collaboration, and future-oriented thinking through real-world challenges and experiences.

As SEB representative Matilda Gullbo shared:

“Initiativ som kombinerar alla delar inom STEAM utvecklar kreativitet, problemlösning och kritiskt tänkande - kompetenser som är avgörande i ett snabbt föränderligt samhälle. Genom att kombinera teknik, konst och samhällsperspektiv får unga en bredare förståelse för hur de kan bidra till både sin egen framtid och till en mer hållbar utveckling.”

Collaborations like this create valuable opportunities for students to engage with new ideas, perspectives, and environments beyond the classroom. By bringing together schools, partners, and professionals from different fields, the initiative helps make learning more tangible and gives students insight into how creativity, innovation, and critical thinking can be applied in real-world contexts.

A warm thank you to SEB for hosting valuable workshops and for generously sharing your time, knowledge, and space with the students as part of our STEAM initiative🧩💚
