Arra gives young organisers in Strängnäs support to create their own events
Strängnäs Municipality has launched Arra, a new support initiative aimed at young people in the municipality who want to turn ideas into activities or events for other children and youth.
Expands previous youth grant with practical event mentoring
Run by the municipality’s Cultural Office, the scheme offers hands-on guidance throughout the planning process. Young organisers can receive help with project planning, finding suitable venues, arranging sound and lighting equipment, and navigating required permits.
Alongside practical mentoring, participants can apply for financial support to carry out their event. Arra expands on the previous Snabba pengar grant by combining funding with broader practical production support.
The municipality’s launch announcement does not specify fixed grant caps, exact age limits or application deadlines; instead, young people with an event idea are invited to contact the Cultural Office via the municipal website.
