Stories from Sweden is a documentary film concept on Sweden’s official YouTube channel. Stories from Sweden features people who have made life-choices or taken initiatives that can inspire far beyond the country’s borders.
Through different narratives, the short films convey a multi-layered portrait of today’s Sweden. The films are aimed at a young international audience interested in and inspired by areas where Sweden plays a leading role, such as sustainability, innovation and social issues like integration and equal opportunities.
