– This place is for the child-

ren, Anita Synnestvedt explains about the outdoor classroom that was built next to a stone burial chamber in Bergsjön. Here are signs that provide information about the stone burial chamber and similar stone constructions in other parts of the world, as well as a small exhibition with archaeological material. – It was Familjebostäder who contacted me and asked if I could help create a place for stories, around which the residents in the area could gather. When you get asked that kind of question, you don’t say no.

I think it is important for everyone to feel that they are in a context where they belong. ANITA SYNNESTVEDT

Children living in the area have also participated in the exhibition with self-portraits and short stories, says Anita Synnestvedt. – I think it is important for everyone to feel that they are in a context where they belong. The children in Bergsjön live in an important place where people have lived for thousands of years. I think they are proud of that.
