Sofa Project

When the semester starts many new students arrive to Malmö. Many of them will not have a home when the semester starts, this because of housing shortages and long queues for student housing. To help these students and alleviate the housing shortage, the Student Union Malmö organize ”the sofa project“. We need your help to help our new friends.
