The City of Malmö has also invested in language-adapted advice, communication and dialogue with entrepreneurs.

- We already had language-adapted information on our web, but saw that those pages had very few visitors, says Fanny Palm, press communicator in the City of Malmö.

The consultant The Social Few has conducted hundreds of interviews in the six largest unofficial language groups in the Nordic countries (Arabic, Persian, Somali, Spanish, Polish and English). The purpose of the interviews has been to increase dot safety to the target group.

For the City of Malmö, the collaboration has meant that they have seen a significant increase in the number of Arabic and Somali speakers reached by the language-adapted corona information.

-We have managed to reach 27,000 Arabic speakers in the city. We also see a 50 per cent increase in the number of calls that have been entered into our company slots in Arabic, says Fadi Barakat, business developer at Malmö city.

According to David Khabbazi at The Social Few, there are several major challenges when it comes to reaching different minority groups in Sweden.

“One challenge is that companies and authorities generally have very little dialogue with minority groups. So it's been historic and it has created a polarization, says David Khabbazi.

- Another challenge is that you have not reached the minority groups in question, at least not as efficient as we can today.
