The project is only a few weeks old but has already attracted many students. Sandra says that she got the idea from a school in Jönköping – and when after a period she got green light from Fröslundaskolan’s principal Anna Gill, the project started.
This did the school partly for the students to practice their fine motor skills and partly to offer the children any activity after school hours.
Anna Gill says that the school is in an exposed area and then it is not obvious that all students have a leisure activity after school. She says it is often the screen that becomes the activity at home. She also testifies that many parents do not dare to release their children because of the fear of crime.
-It is often video games or computers that are the alternatives available for these children, so moving with the body and using the body creatively, it is something that our children really need, she says.
