Lingvis in Sweden

Our Work in Sweden

The non-profit association Språkkraft was founded in 2015 with the purpose of increasing the speed of integration of migrants into Swedish society, by offering effective and free-to-use digital solutions for language learning. Since the, Språkkraft has reached over 650,000 users in Sweden, through the applications Språkkraft Läscoach, SVT Språkplay, and UR Språkplay.

Context

During the refugee crisis of 2015, Sweden received over 160,000 asylum seekers. Realizing the need for these migrants to learn the Swedish language and the limitations of the formal language training system, Språkkraft was founded in order to contribute to the solution.

Based on technology developed by tech partner Brainglass Data AB, Språkkraft launched the app Språkkraft Läscoch in order to provide unlimited access to language learning based on Swedish language digital media.
