In addition we will celebrate 100 years of the settlement house movement in Sweden, as we learn proven methods and cutting edge strategies for the next 100 years. This conference will also be the next opportunity for the IFS YOUTH Program to gather and we hope that IFS members will endeavor to bring as many young people age 18 to 25 as possible.
