The primary keyword chosen for AAL Forum 2013 was ”Impact” – How to make real impact with new solutions and learn from those who had experience from appli- cations in real environments. It is now a widespread perception in the AAL Community that the main ob- stacles are related to market adoption and scaling up. Impact may mean increased autonomy for older adults, which was the theme of the forum Track A, or benefits for the society, the theme of Track B. On the other side it may also mean a boost for the economy, as covered by Track C. However, nothing coordinated will be achieved without policies – policies for research and inno- vation as well as for business stimulation and societal adoption of good solutions, all covered in Track D. Hereby, I would like to thank all the participants in Norrköping in September 2013 and a special thanks to all paper and presentation contributors. Welcome back to Norrköping and East Sweden anytime – for business or pleasure! Anders Carlsson Chairman of the AAL Forum 2013 Programme Committee Project manager, New Tools for Health, Sweden INTRODUCTION 13 WELCOME NOTES WELCOME NOTES 15 MIKE BIDDLE President of the AAL Association Europe is changing – amidst the financial instability and quest for economic growth – the demographic shift to an older population has already begun. The facts about the ageing of Europe’s population are well known and show an imminent and significant change in society and the economy for which the EU is not yet fully prepared. All is not lost though because research, development and in- novation can turn these changes into an opportunity and generate economic growth. Our vision is one where business innovation and the ap- plication of technology will enable people to live their lives to the fullest, where and how they want to. We see people first and not just the medical conditions or chronological age or disability or need. We see a society in which the application of technology and the brilliance of innovative new services and systems will create a level playing field for all of us. The ideal future scenario is one where we all have more independence. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and other technology developments can help to support this but they are only part of a solution that needs to work in line with the way we live our everyday lives. Technology is already pervasive and we need to recognise that technology in itself is not a solution. Instead, we need to consider new ways to innovate to make ageing more delightful. We want Active and Healthy Ageing to be widespread across Europe by 2020. This will take time and it will require co-ordinated effort which is why I’m so pleased that the political process is now underway to define and develop a follow-up to our Joint Programme. This Forum is an ideal opportunity for us to think about how we can continue to work together and reach out to new people, so that independent living can truly be the first choice for everyone.

  • Civic Orientation in English “About Sweden” Is a Civic Orientation Handbook for Newly Arrived
    About Sweden Civic orientation in English “About Sweden” is a civic orientation handbook for newly arrived. The purpose of the book is to provide fundamental information about Sweden to people who have recently arrived in the country, as well as to provide support to municipalities in their civic orientation efforts. An ordinance governing work relating to civic orientation for newly arrived. (2010:1138) has been in force since 1 December 2010. This ordinance states that that goal of civic orientation is for participants to learn about: • human rights and fundamental democratic values, • the other rights and responsibilities of the individual, • how Swedish society is organised, and • practical aspects regarding everyday life. The ordinance also stipulates what civic orientation is to consist of. The ordinance has been used as a basis for the production of this book. “About Sweden” has been translated into eleven languages. All of these translations are available from the county administrative boards’ information portal for newly arrived, www.informationsverige.se The first edition of "About Sweden" was produced by the City of Gothenburg in 2010. The Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and the City of Gothenburg carry out regular revisions of the book together. This year’s edition, which is the seventh since 2010, has been revised by Pia Severinsson from the Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and Jakob Sandahl from the City of Gothenburg.

    Just Environments Politicising Sustainable Urban Development karin bradley doctoral thesis in Infrastructure with specialisation in Planning and Implementation KTH School of Architecture and Built Environment TRITA-SoM 2009-01 ISSN 1653-6126 ISRN KTH/SoM/-09/01-SE ISBN 978-91-7415-228-9 Division of Urban and Regional Studies Department of Urban Planning and Environment School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 Stockholm Sweden © Karin Bradley, 2009 Cover and layout: Staffan Lundgren, Axl Books Cover photo: Karin Bradley Printed by Universitetsservice AB, Stockholm. Abstract European cities are becoming increasingly multicultural and diverse in terms of lifestyles and socioeconomic conditions. However, in planning for sustainable urban development, implications of this increased diver- sity and possibly conflicting perspectives are seldom considered. The aim of this thesis is to explore dimensions of justice and politics in sustainable urban development by studying inclusionary/exclusionary effects of discursive power of official strategies for eco-friendly living on the one hand and everyday lifestyles on the other, in ethnically and socially diverse areas. Two case studies have been conducted, one in a city district of Stock- holm, Sweden, and one in an area of Sheffield, England. The empirical material consists of interviews with residents, interviews with planners and officials and an analysis of strategic planning documents. The case study in Stockholm illustrated the prevalence of a dominant discourse among residents in which Swedishness is connected with environmental responsibility in the form of tidiness, recycling and familiarity with na- ture. In Sheffield there are more competing and parallel environmental discourses.

  • Settling In? a Case Study of Somalian Refugees Living in Stockholm, Sweden
    Settling In? A Case Study of Somalian Refugees Living in Stockholm, Sweden. By Omar Ahmed Salat A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham in fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Social Policy Institute of Applied Social Studies The University of Birmingham United Kingdom December 2010.

The study is based on interviews conducted with twenty-eight Somalis, ten Swedish officials and a focus group interview involving eight other Somalis. The thesis examines respondents’ views about their experiences and perceptions relating to the ‘integration’ of Somalis into Swedish society. The study explores how Somali refugees in Sweden orientate themselves to the prevailing Swedish system of integration. It also aims to identify some of the key factors that impinge upon their (Somalis) socioeconomic and cultural integration into Swedish society. The study reveals that there are a n umber of ‘integrative dilemmas’ confronting Somali refugees in Sweden. These include widespread unemployment; ‘unsuitable’ education; residential segregation; and, institutional discrimination – notably, in the labour market and housing sectors.
