This study is conducted through 15 qualitative interviews with women involved in the labor-integrating social enterprise and women cooperative Yalla trappan. The aim of the study is to understand how the Yalla trappan trainee- and study program Y-allas väg till arbete works with strengthening immigrant women in Malmö. The purpose is to examine how the participating women experience the participation and thus the significance of the programme Y-allas väg till arbete. The empirical material has been analyzed through the theoretical concepts of recognition, mournfulness and empowerment.The discussion and results concludes the importance of Yalla trappan being designed based on the needs of the participants at the core. The discussion and results highlights the importance of a strengthening community that enables the creation of awareness and change. Concludingly, the study questions how the strength created within the community can be maintained outside of the collective.

Drawing from the notion of governance through collaboration, this study aims to understand how the term partnership is used in the academic literature and whether the concerned partners are aware of its characteristics. Furthermore, the study intends to compare the opportunities with the difficulties of this specific collaboration in order to examine its success rate. Considerable discussions on the topic of IOP as a way of collaboration, has influenced politics in Sweden in recent years. The emphasis has been on how the public sector can best utilize the expert knowledge of the idea-driven organizations. This makes it relevant to discuss how these idea-driven organizations can be developed and how they can establish their existence in the public sector. To study how these can be developed, Mörth & Sahlin's and Guy Peter's distinctions of what characterizes partnership has been applied. This is to know whether or not this partnership has a theoretical foundation, which the results of the conducted interviews confirmed that it had. Another factor that can help the development of idea-driven organizations is to know what opportunities and difficulties they may face. Conclusions showed that the major difficulties that could risk this collaboration were: differences in purposes, time limitations and the balance between authority to act independently and the account for responsibility. The first two had been successfully eliminated through the design of the IOP model and only the last one remained a risk. However, despite this remaining difficulty, there are several possibilities that could argue for the success of the partnership. These opportunities were: The positive influence of the outside world, the legitimacy gained through the approval from principal levels and the trust between the concerned parties. Through the conducted interviews, it can be concluded that the collaborators are well acquainted with the implications of partnership as they are depicted in the academic literature. Furthermore, by comparing the difficulties and opportunities of this collaboration, we can detect that many of the potential difficulties have been eliminated through the design of the collaboration model IOP. In addition, the presented opportunities constitute a substantial basis for success.

Sverige ses idag som ett av de sämsta länderna på integration i Europa, klyftorna mellan rika och fattiga vidgas och segregationen bara ökar mellan etniska svenskar och personer med utländsk härkomst. För att vända denna negativa utveckling av det svenska samhället har ett flertal olika sociala projekt startats men endast ett fåtal av dessa har senare blivit permanenta. Ett av dessa projekt fick en fantastisk respons och är idag en fast verksamhet vid namn Yalla Trappan. Yalla Trappan var från början ett arbetsintegrerande socialt projekt, men numera bedrivs verksamheten som ett framgångsrikt socialt företag i Rosengård, Malmö. Genom teoretisering av begreppet integration som vi sedan ställt i relation till segregation, arbete och socialt företagande har vi försökt utreda vad integration kan innebära. Som ett exempel på hur integration kan se ut har vi valt att studera det sociala företaget Yalla Trappan och undersöka hur kvinnorna uppfattar det arbete som sker i verksamheten. För att kunna genomföra detta arbete har vi använt oss av väsentlig litteratur och relevanta artiklar samt forskning inom ämnet. Dessutom har vi tagit del av intervjuer som gjorts med kvinnorna på Yalla Trappan och själva genomfört intervjuer med ordförande för styrelsen och med en studentkandidat på Yalla Trappan. Resultatet av arbetet visar på några grundläggande faktorer som gör att Yalla Trappan som socialt företag fungerar för de kvinnor som antingen arbetar eller praktiserar där. Dessa faktorer är: en meningsfull sysselsättning, delaktighet, ansvar, gemenskap, känslan av att man får utvecklas i sin egen takt, glädje, stolthet och stöd hemifrån och en avslappnad arbetsmiljö. / Sweden today is looked upon as one of the worst countries at integration in Europe, the gap between the wealthy and the poor is escalating and the segregation between people origin from Sweden and people from other backgrounds are increasing. To be able to turn around the negative development of the Swedish society several new social projects have started but only a few of them have become a permanent operation. One of these operations that show positive results are Yalla Trappan. This operation was from the beginning a project that focused on integrating people through work, but today it is a successful social enterprise in Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden. Through a theorization of the word integration in the contexts of segregation, labor and social entrepreneurship we have tried to investigate what the concept of integration actually means. As an example of how you could view integration we have studied the social enterprise Yalla Trappan and investigated how the women perceive their situation there. To be able to proceed with this project we have taken part of essential literature, relevant articles and scientific research on the subject. We were also able to take part of interviews made with the women at Yalla Trappan and made interviews ourselves with the chairman of the board and an intern at Yalla Trappan. The results of our study could be subsumed in a handful of concepts that explain what it is that makes Yalla Trappan work so well. These concepts are: a meaningful occupation, participation, responsibility, solidarity, the feeling of that one is allowed to develop at their own pace, joy, pride and support and a relaxed working environment.
