Vision Statement

Together we make it possible for all children to get a good start in life.

Our Model

Operations within A Good Start

Within A Good Start we have 5 main areas in which we operate, Opinion and Influence, Leadership Academy, Play and Activity, Cooperation with schools and The Way In.

Greater detail of all our programs can be found in Swedish on the website for A Good Start (En Bra Start https://enbrastart.brynas.se/) or in English in our Sustainability Reports. Here is a brief description of some of our bigger programs. In total we meet around 20,000 children in our region on an annual basis.

Friendship talks are a structured approach aimed at girls and boys in years 5-6 to discuss social and environmental topics related to improving the school environment and to prepare children for life’s journeys. Recent topics include ‘how to be a good friend on social media’ and ‘how to be a good friend to the environment’.

International Children’s Day is celebrated at our home arena (Monitor ERP) with 2200 children from years 5 and 6. The purpose of this is to raise awareness and highlight children’s rights in accordance with The Convention on the Rights of the Child, which became Swedish Law in 2020.

The Way In is a programme with a focus on youth employment. Here we focus on entrepreneurship as well as increasing the number of young people that are working or studying in our region.

The Leadership Academy is a leadership course offered for free to all people working as leaders for children and youths in our region.

Playday brings together a variety of associations in our region twice per year to Monitor ERP arena with the goal of giving children a chance to try new activities. Long term the aim of Playday is to enable as many children as possible to find a new interest and thus a meaningful leisure activity.
