LEISURE Their children have a wide range of after-school activities to choose from. Emmaboda’s youth recreation centre is run by the municipality and is open three evenings a week. They also have well-developed holiday activities that include field trips and camps. All the other recreation centres are run by private associations and are open a few evenings per week. Children can hang out with both friends and adults at these centres. In the municipality, the family has their choice among 180 active associations. For example, they can visit the municipal pool and workout centre. There are also a number of great indoor sports facilities as well as a newly finished field with artificial grass. The family can also go to Nöjeshuset, where they, among other things, can go bowling, work out in the gym, drive go-carts or shoot air guns. CULTURAL SCHOOL AND GO ON (SDAG) The children in the family are active students in Emmaboda’s public cultural schools. They each play an instrument and sing. At school, they can also study cinema, musical techniques and drama. The cultural school is open for all of Emmaboda’s citizens and there are no age restrictions. Every Wednesday they meet up with their friends at a unique venture called Go on (sdag). Here, they can learn to dance, make movies or jam with their band. Go on (sdag) is open for everyone in Emmaboda and is a joint-venture between various municipal operations, the youth recreation centre, Nöjeshuset, Emmaboda Folkets Hus, Allaktivitetshus, Skatehallen as well as a number of associations and various businesses. Every Wednesday until 9 PM, people can partake of a large number of cultural, entertainment and sports activities and events. Everyone is welcome to participate. Furthermore, on these Wednesdays, there are free buses to bring people to and from Emmaboda. Children with disabilities can also participate and learn through art, music and drama. On these Wednesdays, the library in Emmaboda is also open until 9 PM. Almost every week, the library is brimming with various activities, meetings with authors, story-telling cafés, book clubs and film viewings. The activities at Go On (sdag) are also open for adults.

SUN AND A SEA BREEZE FOR NEXT OF KIN Grandma Berit is at home, taking care of Grandpa Kalle, who is ill. Berit is a regular visitor to the activity centres that can be found here and there around the municipality. On top of that, she can relax in an unusual way: Being next of kin to someone who is ill, she has the opportunity to get find strength and boost her spirits through a relaxing break in the Mauritius Sunshine Paradise experience room. The room gives her a holistic experience by stimulating all of her senses. She steps right onto a sandy beach where the temperature is about 28 degrees Celsius (82 Fahrenheit). She sits down in a sun chair and can feel the sand between her toes as she listens to the lapping of waves and birdsong and feels a cool sea breeze. Berit can also use the workout and relaxation room. In this room, she can do some careful weight training on a vibrating disc or enjoy a moment’s relaxation in a massage chair. Berit sometimes brings a younger friend with her to her Sunshine Paradise. Both she and everyone else who is interested are welcome to experience this room for a small fee.

With their exhibitions and wide range of various media and activities, these libraries function as meeting places where everyone is welcome. You can also order books from anywhere in Sweden, free of charge! The family can choose to borrow books at any of the branches in Emmaboda, Boda, Eriksmåla, Johansfors, Lindås, Långasjö or Vissefjärda. No matter where you live, there’s always a library nearby! www.emmaboda.se/For-invanaren/Biblioteken SECURITY Later in the evening, the parents join the night patrol which is called Nattvakten. Nattvakten is a group of volunteers who patrol an area to keep an eye on things and report any suspicious activities. The patrolling vehicle is in contact with other Nattvakten vehicles, security guards (Securitas) and the Police command centre. Very often, they also collaborate with Emmaboda Nattvandrare, foot-patrolling volunteers. But it’s not just volunteers that make Emmaboda a safer place. The municipality has signed a collaborative agreement with the police which underlines the importance of collaboration and mutual preventive work. The social and family services’ personnel in the field also play a very important role in this ambition. They focus their work on youths and their parents. The social and family services offer tailor-made support to young people aged 13-23. By working with the bigger picture, they can provide help in both the short and the long run. Parents often see their preventive work out in the field. The “field workers” can be found where young people are, such as festivals and other events. That provides a sense of security.
