THE DIVERSITY PROJECT

Approximately 20 per cent of Sweden’s population currently consists of people with a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. However, this is not reflected within the legal profession. Naturally, increased diversity is important to society as a whole and not only to the legal profession and thus we have decided to address the issue of integration in a more direct manner through the diversity project.

The ambition behind the project is to widen the legal market and to take advantage of the competence and the possibilities that increased diversity entails. The first step is to increase the interest in studying law among students with an ethnic background since in order to reach an integrated legal market more students with an ethnic background need to get a law degree. The diversity project is aimed at students who have recently started upper secondary school. The ambition is to encourage these students at an early stage to continue with university studies and consider the legal profession as a career.

“Working life on equal terms – a diversity project” consists of a close relationship between Vinge – Ross Tensta Gymnasium and St. Botvids Gymnasium in Stockholm, Angeredsgymnasiet in Gothenburg as well as Malmö Latinskola. The students at these schools may apply for scholarships in accordance with the various qualifying criteria. For further information, refer to the terms and conditions of the scholarship and the application below.
