On Wednesday, April 29th, Futuraskolan came together for our huge Earth Day Plogging and Walkathon Event in Centralparken, Täby.
Our preschools and schools came together for a day defined by teamwork, learning, and an unwavering community spirit. It was a proud moment to see our learners and teachers from across our schools and preschools in the Stockholm region join forces, including representatives from Näsby Park, Danderyd, Skarpäng, Kvarnskogen, Brunbärsvägen, Gåshaga, Rådan, Hertig Karl, Futuraskolan Bilingual & Futuraskolan International.
The day was packed with activities designed to nurture both the individual and the environment. Our students engaged in plogging (picking up litter while jogging), explored the wonders of local nature, and found balance and joy through outdoor dance and yoga sessions.
The highlight for many was our Walkathon fundraiser. It was truly inspiring to witness our learners walking lap after lap with determination and kindness, cheering one another on every step of the way.
The impact of this day reaches far beyond Täby. Thanks to the collective support of our community, we have successfully contributed to vital environmental projects, including reforestation efforts in Brazil and Greece.
We are incredibly proud of our little participants and deeply grateful to the families, teachers, sponsors, and organizers who made this day a reality. Together, we are raising the next generation of global citizens.
Have a look at our fun and exciting day below!

Futuraskolan Master Chef 2026
It was another incredible year at the Futuraskolan Master Chef competition! Our 6th-grade finalists from Gåshaga, Hertig Karl, Bergtorp, Stockholm Bilingual, and Rådan returned to Martin & Servera’s home offices, proving once again that our students have a true passion for the culinary arts.
While the bar set by last year’s legendary competition was incredibly high, this year’s participants rose to the challenge with impressive skill and focus. Our young chefs showcased their dedication to the craft, presenting dishes that made our Head Chef Oskar Hagdahl and Receiving Kitchen Coordinator Catherine Törnkvist’s, jobs as judges extremely difficult!
After a close and exciting competition, we are proud to announce that Ida and Wayne from Futuraskolan Gåshaga have been crowned the Futuraskolan Master Chefs 2026! 🎉
Their winning creation was a masterclass in balance: a Miso Wasabi Poké Bowl. The dish featured:
Perfectly fried salmon and savory umami beans.
A refreshing mix of mango, pickled onions, and avocado.
Crisp romaine lettuce on a base of rice.
Ida and Wayne’s ability to combine these classic flavors with such precision was a highlight of the day. It was a fantastic display of teamwork and technique that carried on the high standards we’ve come to expect from this event.
Below you can see our Futuraskolan chefs hard at work. We are so proud of everyone who participated and a huge congratulations to Ida and Wayne!
Futuraskolan EARTH DAY Plogging & Walkathon!
With this event, we want to foster environmental awareness, raise money for our Global Citizen Program and inspire a deep sense of responsibility toward our planet. By bringing together Futuraskolan Preschools and Schools, we aim to encourage collaboration among young minds, teaching them the importance of preserving nature through hands-on activities. We are looking forward to this fantastic annual event!
What an incredible evening! On Wednesday, April 15th, we transformed our space into a vibrant gallery for the First Annual Futuraskolan Student Art Show.
This milestone event was more than just an exhibition; it was a powerful celebration of World Art Day and a testament to the creative spirit of our entire school network.
A Collaborative Masterpiece
This event was born from the passion of our art teachers across all Futuraskolan schools. They worked tirelessly together to curate a professional, inspiring space that allowed our students’ voices to shine.
Art with a Purpose
The theme of the exhibition was inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our students used their creativity to explore global issues, sustainability, and humanity, proving that art is not just beautiful—it’s a way to change the world.
From intricate paintings to bold sculptures, the quality of work from our creative Futuraskolan students was truly fantastic.
More Than Just a Gallery. The atmosphere was electric, filled with wonderful music setting the perfect mood for art appreciation. There were nibbles & drinks keeping our guests refreshed as they toured the exhibits.
It was a joy to see parents, staff, and students from all our locations coming together.
A Heartfelt Thank You, an event of this scale doesn’t happen without a dedicated team.
We are already looking forward to next year! Until then, keep creating.

Educating Future World Citizens: Futuraskolan International Bergtorp’s Global Approach
Source: Human Performance
How do you equip students for a world in constant change? At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, an internationally-focused education is offered, where the Swedish curriculum is interwoven with global frameworks and Erasmus+ projects across Europe. Together, this creates a learning environment that develops curiosity, collaboration skills, and a strong global citizenship.
At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, the teaching is designed to reflect what the world actually looks like – complex, interconnected, and constantly moving. The school follows the Swedish curriculum and also uses the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
The international framework helps students put their knowledge into a larger context. The teaching is cross-curricular and based on big ideas that make it clear why they learn what they do. Together with the Swedish curriculum, it provides structure, depth, and teaching that reflects how the world is truly connected, says principal Kevin Munro.
The school offers clear profiles in Creative Arts, Sports & Wellness, and Global Citizenship.
“Through extra lessons in music, global citizenship, and sports, students have the opportunity to delve deeper into their interests while simultaneously training responsibility, leadership, and collaboration. This has a positive impact on the academic side,” says Kevin.
Global Citizenship is a fundamental part of the school’s identity. Up to 50% of the teaching is in English, which strengthens the students’ linguistic and cultural competence. Through international collaborations and Erasmus+ projects, students have worked together with schools in Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and France.
“We don’t stop at the theory in books. Students encounter global challenges in conversations with peers in other countries, go on study visits, and gain a concrete understanding of how different societies work in practice,” explains Kevin.
The school also places great emphasis on safety and inclusion.
“We have a dedicated safety team and active mentorship where issues like mental health, conflict management, and equal treatment are a natural part of the school day,” Kevin clarifies.
The goal is for students to leave Bergtorp well-prepared for upper secondary school and further studies, but also with a curiosity for lifelong learning.
“We want our students to leave here with a positive attitude towards learning – for their whole lives,” says Kevin.
The school’s vision is to be “the best stepping stone for future world citizens.”
“Starting from the autumn of 2027, we also plan to accept students in grades 4 and 5, following strong demand from guardians who want their children to start in the international environment even earlier,” Kevin mentions.
At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, the ambition is clear: to give students the best prerequisites to become safe, knowledgeable, and responsible world citizens.

Hur rustar man elever för en värld i ständig förändring? På Futuraskolan lnternational Bergtorp erbjuds en internationellt präglad utbidlning där svensk läroplan vävs samman med globala ramverk och Erasmus+ projekt runtom i Europa. Tillsammans skapar det en lärmiljö som utvecklar nyfikenhet, samarbetsförmåga och ett starkt globalt medborgarskap.
På Futuraskolan International Bergtorp är undervisningen utformad för att spegla hur världen faktiskt ser ut – komplex, sammanlänkad och i ständig rörelse. Skolan följer den svenska läroplanen och använder dessutom International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
Det internationella ramverket hjälper eleverna att sätta kunskapen i ett större sammanhang. Undervisningen är ämnesövergripande och utgår från stora idéer som gör det tydligt varför de lär som de gör. Tillsammans med den svenska läroplanen ger det struktur, djup och undervisning som speglar hur världen faktiskt hänger ihop, säger rektor Kevin Munro
Skolan erbjuder tydliga profiler inom Creative Arts, Sports & Wellness och Global CitizenshIP.
-Genom extra undervisning i musik, globalt medborgarskap, och idrott får eleverna möjlighet att fördjupa sig i sina intressen och samtidigt träna ansvar, ledarskap, och samarbete. Det smittar av sig på det akademiska, säger Kevin.
Global Citizenship är en bärande del av skolans identitet. Upp till50% av undervisningen sker på engelska vilket stärker elevernas språkliga och kulturella kompetens, Genom internationaleea samarbeten och Erasmus+ -projekt har eleverna arbetat tillsammans med skolor i bland annat Italien, Grekland, CYpern och Frankrike.
-Vi stannar inte vid teorin i böckerna. Eleverna möter globala utmaningar i samtal med jämnåriga i andra länfer, gör studebesök och får en konkret förståelse för hur olika samhällen fungerar i praktiken, berättar Kevin.
Skolan lägger även stor vikt vid trygghet och inkludering.
-Vi har ett dedikerat trygghetsteam och ett aktivt mentorskapdär frågor som psykisk hälsa, konflikthantering och likabehandling är en naturlig del av skolvardagen, förklarar Kevin.
Målet är att eleverna lämnar Bergtorp väl förberedda för gymnasiet och vidare studier men också med en nyfikenhet på fortsatt lärande.
-Vi vill att våra elever går härifrån med en posistiv inställning till lärande – hela livet, säger Kevin.
Skolans vision är att vara “the best stepping stone for future world citizens”.
-Från och med hösten 2027 planerar vi även att ta emot elever i årskurs 4 och 5, efter stark efterfrågan från vårdnadhavare som vill att barnen ska börja i den internationella miljön ännu tidigare, berättar Kevin.
På Futuraskolan International Bergtorp är ambitionen tydlig: att ge eleverna de bästa förutsättningarna att bli trygga, kunniga och ansvarstagande världsmedborgare.
