According to a comprehensive meta study conducted on behalf of Stena Property in 2022, young people’s future faith is significantly stronger than it is generally portrayed. The study also shows that faith in the future is strong, regardless of socioeconomic background, ethnicity, or gender. A positive force that Stena Property intends to take advantage of!

Around 15,000 children and young people under the age of 25 live in Stena Property’s neighbourhoods. The company strives to create the best possible conditions for them to realise their dreams. In 2023, Stena Property, together with photographer Johan Bävman, spread knowledge about young people’s hopes for the future through a unique photo and film exhibition that portrays ten young people in environments where they feel at home. At the exhibition staged in Malmö, Landskrona and Göteborg, they openly shared their thoughts about the future.

“The future lives with us – it’s so incredibly inspiring to listen to and get the chance to work with the young people who contribute to various initiatives in the form of holiday work, graduation jobs, and internships with us. There’s too little attention to all the talents who grow up and have big dreams and high ambitions – it’s our opportunity and duty to help them make their dreams come true!” Cecilia Fasth, MD, Stena Property

Stena is now inviting other companies to use the exhibition in their activities, in order to spread knowledge and increase dialogue in society about young people’s hopes for the future.
