SCALING SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION
WOW was founded in Halmstad in 2013, to create a meeting point for women who otherwise never would have met. WOW's operation is built on two pillars: MeetUP and OneGoal.
MeetUP includes social activities in a larger group with 50/50 migrant women/established Swedes. Monthly lunches follow a set agenda with topics ranging from democracy to personal finances and domestic violence. The purpose is pro-active integration.
OneGoal is the process where an established Swede helps a migrant woman land a job with 1:1 coaching. Every step is detailed in a manual available online. The process takes less than 30 hours of volunteering and leads to 75% of women landing a job (internships does not count).
As of spring of 2022 WOW is operating in Karlstad, Stockholm and Helsingborg. Learnings will be presented as the project ends in May 2023.
