Films about applying for asylum and about life in Sweden – introduction to Swedish society for younger children
Now there are films that explain to children what happens when they apply for asylum in Sweden and why they may need to answer some difficult questions. Children will also learn more about life in Sweden, about children’s rights and about laws that protect children.
The content of the films corresponds to what adult asylum seekers learn at the oral introduction to Swedish society. The videos are adapted for children, but the content may raise questions that children might need to talk to an adult about. Please watch them together with the child and talk with them about the questions that may arise.
The films are available in the following languages: Swedish, English, Arabic, Dari, Russian, Somali, Spanish and Tigrinya.

In 2021, the Swedish Migration Agency received a commission from the Swedish government to arrange introduction to Swedish society for asylum seekers. The introduction is mandatory for asylum seekers, who are aged 15 and over and contains information about the asylum process, Swedish laws, democracy, norms and values. The commission also includes offering information material that is adapted for children.
