Sewing & Craft Festival
Three Amazing Days at the Sewing and Craft Festival!
Hand in Hand for Women proudly participated in the Sewing and Craft Festival with a wonderful market that lasted for three days on 25-17 October 2024. It was an incredible opportunity for us, foreign-born and newly arrived women, to meet new people and build valuable connections.
During these days, women dared to speak Swedish with customers, created new friendships, and boosted their confidence by showcasing their skills and talents. The festival became a space where we could collaborate, inspire, and empower each other. 💪

Creative Women in the Spotlight!
We are proud and delighted to share that Hand in Hand for Women and our project Creative Women were recently highlighted by Dagens ETC during the vibrant Sewing and Craft Festival! 🎉
Our members, along with project leader Hacer Korucu, proudly showcased a variety of beautiful handmade creations – soaps, candles, flower wreaths, paintings, and jewelry.
Sena Karadeniz, one of our talented members, expressed her joy:
"It’s incredibly rewarding to share crafts that we’ve poured so much time and energy into with others."
A heartfelt thanks to Dagens ETC, Zanna Nordqvist, and Emma Widebäck for shining a light on our efforts to promote creativity, integration, and community for talented women in Sweden.
💜 Creative Women provides a platform for newly arrived women to develop their language skills, integrate into society, and showcase their amazing talents.
