Malmö FF at 12th EFDN Conference
With the 12th EFDN ‘#Morethanfootball’ Conference now only 3 weeks away we are very happy to announce Karin Heri of one of Sweden’s leading clubs, Malmö FF, as a speaker. Karin will present the Careeracademy programme of Malmö FF in the community.
Career guidance and matchmaking through football, is that possible? Karin will take you on a journey starting in Malmö in 2013 all the way through to the present day with the initiative currently being scaled nationwide in Sweden through a collaboration between the member-owned Swedish Professional Football League and the Public Employment Service. The presentation will no only focus on the positives but just as importantly will discuss the mistakes made and lessons learned, the do´s and don’ts and the substantial outcomes from this collaboration between the club, its sponsors and the public sector. Together they have proven that stakeholders from different sectors can all get behind a societal challenge and produce creative solutions that can benefit the target group, the club, its sponsors and the municipality.
