Programme for immigrant parents, Sweden

Update, Caroline Wendel, November 2024

In recent years, the Jönköping Municipality, in collaboration with ICDP Sweden, has developed the ICDP programme for parents from other countries.

We have trained around 100 guides for Parents in a New Country. The idea is that all parents need to reflect on how they support their children to live within two cultures.

In addition, a research study on ICDP for Parents in a New Country is underway at Dalarna University. This research has now been expanded to include more municipalities.

Among other things, ICDP is now being incorporated into SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) teaching.

The picture above is from the central training for Guide for Parents in a New Country, which was held in Stockholm in September 2024.
