Free Digital Subject Portal from Bonnier Supports Kids Newly Arrived in Sweden

Welcome to Sweden!

“Clio Föreberedelseklass – Clio Prep Course – caters primarily to newly arrived students in grades four to nine as well as language introduction courses that prepare students for secondary schools. With help from texts on two different levels, study guides in different languages and interactive activities, students get opportunities to develop their Swedish language skills,” says Hedin.

“The focus of the prep courses is to support students’ language development, but also to give students insights into Swedish culture and knowledge of different school subjects. That’s why the portal includes an introduction to Swedish society, Välkommen hit!, as well as texts and activities the give students the chance to develop  their knowledge of different school subjects.”

Free for Schools

Bonnier Education has developed Clio Förberedelseklass with support from Bonnier AB, which has a majority stake in the company.

“This is a shared task for Sweden, to give all children the foundation for succeeding in school,” says Tomas Franzén, CEO for Bonnier AB. “We see that there is a huge challenge for both kids and teachers. And an opportunity for us to contribute something concrete to society. I’m personally extremely proud that we’ve developed the Clio Förberedelseklass that is being made available for free to all Swedish teachers.”

Clio Förberedelseklass – Clio Prep Course – can be used free by teachers and students in Sweden’s roughly 7,000 elementary and secondary schools. Already prior to launch, more than 600 teachers applied to test Clio Förberedelseklass. The new subject portal is available at www.clioonline.se/forberedelseklass.

Clio Förberedelseklass is funded under the Bonnier Social Impact program, an initiative for companies within Bonnier to receive financing by parent company Bonnier AB for projects that are closely linked to the business and have a clear social benefit.
