Research shows a connection between early school leaving and anti-social behaviour. One of the aims in Kungälv was to ensure that students completed their compulsory education and continued onto upper secondary school.

By mapping local social structures and the relationships between them to identify trouble spots and at-risk youth, the project helped redirect young people away from anti-social behaviour by introducing them to more positive influences. The project helped dismantle active Nazi or white supremacist organisations and informal gangs in Kungälv.

The Kungälv Model was replicated in 20 other Swedish cities in the 2015/2016 academic year with a €1 million investment from the Ministry of Labour, the National Agency for Youth and Civil Society Affairs, the Natur & Kultur Foundation, and Skandia Ideas for Life.

The model has been highlighted by the UN as a viable and appropriate strategy to counter extreme intolerance among young people.

Currently, the Tolerance Project website continues to share practices from different initiatives promoting tolerance.
