About us & our values
The potential in difference & the strength in action.
Seeing the need for more cohesiveness in the society, Kajsa Svensson founded InterAct. Contributing with her knowledge about cooperation and communication stemming from conflict management, intercultural competence and inclusion.
In 2018, people from 195 countries moved to Sweden and 19 % of the population were born abroad. At the same time, segregation and tension has been rising in the society. We need skills to cooperate despite having different backgrounds, personality, education and values. Differences are an asset at a labor market in a world where clients and citizens are becoming more and more different. A team with great diversity competence can communicate better and deliver better. When workplaces are developing their work, with diversity, it spreads and together we contribute to building a socially sustainable society.
Our values
Our company name InterAct is a fantastic word that combines aspects of our core values and reflects in our way of working.
Inter means between and we know that what is created in-between people is of greatest importance. Change is not a solo act and we need to work together. We believe in networking, cooperation and working together with the private and public sectors and NGO’s for a sustainable society. That is why co-creation, building relationships and developing the group is always present in our training programs.
Act means action. We believe in the power of hands on action. This is why we work with interactive and participatory methods. We create understanding through experience and foremost new behaviors and ways of communication through action-oriented training. This is how to break negative circles, challenge stereotypes and build foundations for new relationships.
Added to the name is “We love differences” – because that is what we do and believe in. Too often birds of a feather flock together. More perspectives make us have more fun and understand the world better. But being different is not always easy, and a diverse and socially sustainable society isn’t built just like that. Therefore our training is about daring to meet, handle inequality and use the power of differences.
Social Impact
At InterAct we put social impact before profit. We also work pro-bono with creating meeting places and educate volunteers and NGO’s working for integration and inclusion. Our training programs create understanding between people and the integration process. Through open workshops we create meeting places for people from all over the globe. Both laughter and seriousness is part of the conversations when we meet in interactive exercises. We accept interns and share knowledge and stories in social media to build understanding and togetherness.
Our Vision
Our vision is an inclusive society where differences live in consent and on equal terms.
Enjoy differences and improve your teamwork
Achieve better understanding, communication and cooperation in your team!
