Do you or your employees work in or around Ängelholm? Welcome to our new Facebook page and group for expats!
There are many internationals living in North West Skåne, attracted here by international companies, quality of life, and beautiful nature. Finding opportunities to meet with other internationals has not been so easy, but we are working to remedy that now!
In 2022, we created an online platform to make it easier for the international community in Ängelholm to connect, and since November 2022 have run several events in Ängelholm with the help of our committed volunteers.
We were overwhelmed by the positive response and great turnout – there’s a real appetite to meet, build networks, and share stories, and we have met some amazing people! Take a look at our Facebook page and group to find out more!
Ängelholm Cultural Exchange
An Ängelholm Vision Fund Project
Ängelholm Municipality’s Vision Fund enables individuals and organisations to apply for funding to test an idea that engages and contributes to the vision “Ängelholm makes the impossible possible.”
We were delighted to run an Ängelholm Vision Fund project in 2024! The call highlighted projects to create new collaborations between residents and bring people together.
During 2024, we arranged four evenings at ÄHLM Market, when internationals and Swedes shared different aspects of their culture.
The project helped to break down barriers in society by providing a new platform for residents to learn from, and understand other people’s cultures. It also created new opportunities for people to meet, leading to greater cohesion and friendship.
Thank you to our fantastic guest speakers, who came from Catalonia, Namibia, Pakistan, South Africa, India, Ukraine, and Iceland! Our Swedish speakers gave talks on the Swedish choral tradition, cold bathing, living in different areas of Sweden and the USA, and Swedish Christmas traditions.

“Meeting with different people from around the world in Ängelholm, has been a very enriching and fruitful experience. Despite the different backgrounds, we share a lot and I have met new friends. At the meetings everyone is very friendly and open minded. Walking downtown has a different meaning, I feel part of this beautiful town.”
