<p>This dissertation is about children in a district in Malmö, Sweden that is called Rosengård. This district is known for its high amount of immigrants and foreigners and all the children interviewed for the study are foreigners.</p><p>We wanted to bring out their story, how they experience the cultures they are in touch with, the Swedish culture that they live in and their foreign culture that they experience at home with their parents. How do these children socialize into the Swedish culture while living in a district that is hardly exposed to it? We have been working from a different perspective, this due to the fact that we have both grown up in Rosengård and are still currently living here. Therefore our perspective is more from the inside, we can relate to the children’s stories and we can tell about it in a way that seems more natural.</p><p>These children are not more different than other children, they have the same interests and hobbies as is considered to be “fashionable” in youth culture today. They all have hopes and dreams like everybody else, and the fact that they are not exposed to the Swedish culture does not seem to affect them, yet.</p>
