About Järvaveckan
Since its inception in 2016, Järvaveckan has become one of Sweden’s most important events for socially engaged businesses, associations, authorities, politicians, and citizens. Järvaveckan focuses on bridging the gap between elected politicians and citizens. By attracting party leaders from all parliamentary parties and societal actors from various sectors, Järvaveckan helps create opportunities for citizens to engage politically, participate actively in society, and put their prioritized issues on the political agenda. We believe in the power of connection. Järvaveckan is a forum that facilitates open conversations and enables people to meet outside their bubbles and to learn from one another.
Järvaveckan is organized by the Järvaveckan Foundation.

“I firmly believe that a single encounter has the power to transform everything. The simple act of shaking hands, maintaining eye contact, and sharing narratives and aspirations is the essence of our humanity. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all organizations that have contributed to Järvaveckan, and those that will do so in the future. Together, we turn seemingly impossible connections into reality.”
Ahmed Abdirahman, Founder of Järvaveckan
Järvaveckan is organized by the Järvaveckan Foundation.
Järvaveckan is orchestrated by The Järvaveckan Foundation, a non-partisan, non-religious non-profit organization. Our mission is to foster inclusivity for all individuals, regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or any economic or other status, in every aspect of societal, economic, and political life.
We proudly host Sweden’s leading forum for socially committed companies, organizations, civil society, authorities, politicians, and citizens, known as Järvaveckan. Our aim is to cultivate a society where diversity is universally acknowledged as a strength, a society where everyone has the opportunity to partake in and shape its progression.
We strive to ensure that diversity, be it in the workforce, housing, or education, is a source of opportunities rather than constraints. We seek to amplify more voices so that a broader range of perspectives can be acknowledged. We endeavor to foster greater curiosity, respect, and empathy among people in Sweden, and a society where everyone has the chance to influence their future and break through today’s barriers to personal growth.
We enable platforms for open dialogues, facilitating encounters that transcend all boundaries. We initiate and disseminate new knowledge that yields essential insights into Swedish society for informed conversations and public debate – we serve as experts – the go-to experts for fresh insights. We implement our own programs that bolster individuals in their growth by exposing them to new realities, thereby enabling them to overcome obstacles. As such, we serve as agents of change, driving societal renewal.
