Dear co-workers of Tele2! As a founding Board member of Playing for Change Foundation – a so-cial initiative, co-created by MTG and the Kinnevik Group companies – I would like to share with you the accomplishments of 2011.

Children are important stakeholders to our business everywhere. So what can we do to make the world a better place for kids? Well, what we do best: finding the best people and giving them the conditions to succeed.

Therefore Playing for Change invests in social entrepreneurs who help children and youth to a better life. So far we have supported 1,150,000 children on three continents and the journey continues.

The world we changeWe’ve empowered 1,150,000 children in three countries so far

In Sweden, ten police reports a day are filed about children falling victim to sexual abuse. Barnkraft aims to prevent child abuse through information and has developed a supportive educational material for school children and professionals.

120,000 children between the ages of 6 and 11 years are over-weight in Sweden, and that number is rising. In 2011, Mulligabarn.se has provided scientifically based training to the parents of 16,250 children, so that they in turn can help

their children lead a healthier life.

The number of refugee chil-dren so traumatized by war and severe experiences that they become apathetic is increasing in Sweden. Through play peda-gogy, Läkande lek provides relief for children affected by war, hunger and abuse.

Many children in Ghana are un-able to attend school. PAORP-VWC struggles in Cameroon and the northern regions of Ghana to provide children with an education. PAORP-VWC op-erates on different social levels and focuses on girls especially.

Choosing a more sustainable lifestyle must not be an effort driven by guilt. Gro Play wants to inspire the next generation to a sustainable lifestyle though, physical and digital, games and toys. Play is not only the most fun, but also the most powerful, way of learning.

80% of Swedish children lack knowledge of the UN Conven-tion on the Rights of the Child. At Retoy, 110,000 children have had the opportunity to learn about children’s rights and sus-tainability in 2011.

Instead of exploring knowledge, young people today are expect-ed to learn by passive transfer-ence of information from adults. LajvVerkstaden promotes the development of a different edu-cation system in which students actively participate and gain

confidence in their ability to make a difference.

African youth lack access to diverse and well-produced literature that’s relevant to their experiences and educational development. Golden Baobab Prize is an African literary award that encourages the pro-duction of African literature for children and youth.

Sweden is one of many coun-tries in which the knowledge of mathematics, science and technology has deteriorated in latter years. By arranging math labs in Sweden and Denmark, and using digital tools in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and

the US, Mattecentrum promotes the knowledge of and interest in mathematics.

Sweden invests more money, resources and attention in lei-sure activities that are popular with boys than in activities popular with girls. Crossing Boarders educates organiza-tions and associations with an action method that opens up

for equal participation and promotes an active leisure for girls.

In Sweden, there are groups of people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are excluded from the labor market. Löpar-akademin use long-distance running as a tool to teach young people in the Stockholm suburbs how to set and achieve their professional goals.

ABaCoDe empowers children by engaging them in basketball and offering them life-skill training which leads to a strengthened local capacity. In 2011 they have involved almost 300 children in Nima, a non-privileged area of Accra.

Road accidents are the leading cause of death and disability among 5- to 21-year-olds in Africa today. Safe Child Ghana prevents injuries and promotes safety among children and youth. During 2011, 100,000 children have been educated

using Safe Child Ghana’s play-and-learn method.

The Swedish school system lacks the proper tools to edu-cate young people with ADHD/ADD, something that often keeps them from completing their education. På rätt köl’s innovative high school program helps students, who until now

haven’t attended school at all, reach graduation.

Young people in Ghana who come into conflict with the law and are put into correctional centers usually fall back into crime when they’re released. CRRECENT offers a structured reintegration program that helps ex-inmates return to society.

A PLAYMAKER is a social entrepreneur who has passed

Playing for Change’s tough selection process and been selected to partici-

pate in our Incubator. Common to all our Playmakers is that they work to improve

the lives of children and youth.
