The idea with the hikes is that while the participants learn about their history, there is the opportunity to meet and meet.

- In order for those who come to Sweden to become established and get in touch with Swedes, we use history as a means of creating that contact, says integration manager at the County Administrative Board, Lucie Riad.

Help for new arrivals

- History is important for everyone, but especially for the new arrivals who get to know more about Strängnäs, both historically and culturally.

It helps them get into society, says integration coordinator Sermon Shaba.

Join the hike and hear the participants in the clip above.
