Svenska folkskolans vänner

Svenska folkskolans vänner r.f. (abbreviated SFV) is a Finland-Swedish association aiming to support the schooling of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland. It is considered one among the most important institutions in Svenskfinland.

Since the introduction of compulsory education in Finland in 1921, the association's main task has been to promote education, culture and free learning in Swedish in Finland. Each year, SFV also awards prizes, scholarships and medals, as well as grants in the sectors of education, culture and libraries, and liberal education. The association also maintains Swedish folk high schools and vocational training within the framework of Axxell Utbildning Ab.
