Summary of the project: Vardmodellen is an integration project that SK Vard Haugesund formed in 1992. SInce then we have helped immigrants, asylum seeker and foreigners to integrate into the Norwegian society through participation in football in the footballclub SK Vard Haugesund.

We mainly help kids and teenagers, but also have activities for adults. Vardmodellen helps the immigrants with financial support in both participant fee, and equipment. If needed the immigrants also get a guardian helping them to get to training and supporting them in their integration.

Today we have 50 kids with foreign background in the club and we continue to grow.
