Planning and development of a support intervention
Here is some practical information about the workshops in which we collaborate with the target audience to plan future research offering support for LGBTQ+ forced migrants in Sweden.
We will begin all workshop sessions with a lunch which we will pay for (30 minutes, between 12:00 and 12:30 hrs). Refreshments and fika will be served during the sessions.
Those who attend workshops will be paid a salary of 1 500 SEK before taxes.
The workshops will take place at our university campus in Flemingsberg, Stockholm. Here you find directions how to get to our campus.
In order to attend the workshops you need to have lived experience as an LGBTQ+ forced migrant. You need to have a work permit in Sweden.
