According to Hans Edwardsson, there are usually around 30 people who usually sign up, but this year there were many more, of which 180 confirmed. Therefore, it was a surprise that so many people signed up for the confirmation campaign.
Julia Bergling is another young person who received an invitation through the mailbox. She told her friends who wanted to hook up, which made more of them, she says.
– I think it’s very funny that there is a lot of interest and that so many people want to explore and participate, says participant Ingrid Berntsson.
Figures from the Church of Sweden show that the number of confirmands has decreased significantly in recent years, not only in Jönköping County but all over the country.
In the clip above, Hans Edwardsson talks about how it feels to receive more registrations this year compared to previous years.
