In the project Barn av vår tid (Children of our time), I have worked with Fryshuset in Malmo and created an interior concept which is designed to express Fryshusets identity, support and encourage its activities and to create a functional environment for young people as well as staff. The purpose of this concept is to help teenagers to feel involved, important and safe. Floor plan, materials and furniture is carefully adapted to support the activities of Fryshuset and to give young people a feeling of coming home. They are also of course chosen with care for the environment. I have studied interior branding, how the rooms can give a sense of security and homely atmosphere and how young people can actively participate in the design of the premises. / I projektet Barn av vår tid har jag samarbetat med Fryshuset i Malmö och skapat ett inredningskoncept vilket är utformat för att uttrycka Fryshusets identitet, bistå och stimulera dess verksamheter samt att skapa en funktionell miljö för ungdomar och personal. Konceptets syfte är att bidra till att ungdomar känner sig delaktiga, betydelsefulla och trygga. Planlösning, material och möbler är noga anpassade för att stödja verksamheterna inom Fryshuset samt att ge ungdomarna en känsla av att komma ­hem. De är även självklart utvalda med omsorg för miljön. Jag har undersökt hur man visualiserar ett varumärke i exteriör och interiör, hur rummen kan utstråla trygghet och hemkänsla samt hur ungdomarna aktivt kan delta i utformningen av lokalerna.

Youth participation habits changes constantly. Efforts to keep up with new forms of political participation is seen in international organizations, national governments and the academic community. How do young people themselves regard their participation in these new forms? One alternative form of political participation is youth organizing. This study uses a multi-case research design by interviewing Kenyan and Swedish young people who have participated in one of two youth organizing programs, organized by the non-governmental organization Fryshuset. This study aimed to uncover what youth value with youth organizing as a participation form, what goals they have with their participation and how their self-organized initiatives reflect said goals, by applying theories on empowerment, delieration, agonistic pluralism and factors affecting political participation. What youth value with youth organizing is personal development, meeting new people and getting the opportunity to make a local impact. Furthermore the study found that the primary goal of their participation was to strengthen their local community. Finally the findings show how youth preferred deliberative means to achieve their goals.

The Bachelor thesis ”Freedom under responsibility” is based on the work of the foundation Fryshuset in Stockholm, Hammarby Sjöstad (HS) on the 8th floor. The foundation runs its operations in Sweden as well as internationally with the main focus being personal- growth and development of the youth. High trust levels in combination with holding great responsibilities enable the people of the foundation agility in their planning and execution in order to meet their objectives in a highly dynamic environment. This way of working is called freedom under responsibility and is greatly appreciated by the employees, however, lack of direction, accountability, and communication has been raised as an issue. The purpose of the study is to identify and clarify the problems that exist in the Fryshuset´s HS in the 8th floor 'Freedom under responsibility', in order to be able to improve and develop the working method.This thesis aims to analyze and evaluate the operation management strategies, leadership, and communication regarding direction, objective setting, planning, execution, and evaluation. The last part of the thesis contains recommendations for improvements of the operations of the foundation. The thesis result is based on data collected from Fryshuset's HS on the 8th floor documentation, interviews and survey. The result shows that one of the major problems in ‘Freedom under responsibility’ is the daily operations from the operation management. The recommendations for improvements is:• Improve the work to form the annual objective setting • Improve followup meetings / Examensarbetet ’Frihet under ansvar’ är inriktad på stiftelsen Fryshuset i Stockholm, Hammarby Sjöstad (HS) på våning 8. Fryshuset är en stiftelse som bedriver verksamhet i Sverige men även internationellt. Fokus ligger på unga och deras chans att utvecklas och växa. Medarbetarna på Fryshuset HS våning 8 har mycket ansvar med stor handlingsfrihet, de arbetar mycket självständigt och styr sig själva i arbetet. Medarbetarna uppskattar detta arbetssätt, som en del kallar ‘Frihet under ansvar’ men önskar en ökad styrning och bättre kommunikation från chef- och ledarskapet. Syftet med studien är att identifiera och klargöra vilka problem som finns i Fryshuset HS våning 8 arbetssätt ‘Frihet under ansvar’, för att sedan kunna förbättra och utveckla arbetssättet. Det som har undersökts i arbetssättet ‘Frihet under ansvar’ är Fryshusets HS våning 8 organisationsstyrning, specifikt ledarskapets styrning och kommunikation gällande målformulering, planering, genomförande, uppföljning och utvärdering. Resultatet baseras på data som har samlats in från Fryshusets HS våning 8 befintliga dokumentation, genomförda intervjuer och utskickad enkät. Resultatet tillsammans med analys visar att det råder problem i Fryshuset HS våning 8 dagliga styrning som i sin tur skapar problem i arbetssättet ’Frihet under ansvar’. Rekommendationen är att Fryshuset HS våning 8 möter problemet genom att förbättra upprättandet av den årliga verksamhetsplanen samt förbättra avstämningsmöten som hålls med medarbetarna.

The aim of this study is to investigate the components of religion and spirituality in the specific context of "Fryshuset" – a multicultural and glocal arena. Against the backdrop of contemporary researchers such as Heelas and Woodhead and their hypothesis about the "spiritual revolution" and a "new spirituality", as well as the postmodern discussion about "the return of God", this study discusses how religious change can be understood in the context of Fryshuset. The theoretical point of departure is taken in a hermeneutical method where Fleck´s theory about "thought-collective" and Gidden´s theory about the "duality of structure" are used in order to understand and describe the dialectical relationship between individual and social structure. The method used in this study is qualitative. The interviews are made of six individuals representing different social projects at Fryshuset. By analyzing the material from the field study through theories on religious change, three areas are identified: "The subjective turn" Religion and spirituality A Cosmopolitan interpretation of life  The result of this study is that the religiosity among the interviewed can be described through Taylor’s understanding of the "subjective turn".
