(edit title) Art and health projects in Sweden/Stockholm Any experience/knowledge/advice? Options

[Beeka]

Hi all,
I'm a British student due to move to Stockholm next month to work for a year or two and then eventually carry on with my studies there once I have a better grasp of swedish.
I have just completed an FD in creative arts therapies here in the UK. I am now qualified as an arts practioner. I have organised and run several arts projects in the UK working with several different client groups such as elderly people and disengaged young poeple etc..
I really want to continue doing similer work once I move to Sweden.
I'm finding it really hard to find any info on past or exhisting arts projects. Does anyone know how big this type of thing is in Stockholm? If and where could I apply for funding for work like this?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys

You have a PhD in art therapy?

I think that Art therapy (bildterapi) is carried out within the remit of disability rehabititation and possibly mental health and geriatricssome may also work in municipal special needs education
- so perhaps contact habilitering or psykiatri to see it they can give you contacts

Most bildterapeut in Sweden I think have special need teaching degrees plus a masters degree in art therapy - I am not sure you can get any work in this area without becoming fluent in Swedish
