“Västerås´ Fria Gymnasium” is one of 25 elected authorized UN-schools in Sweden.
In autumn 2007 “Sveprofileringska” UN-Assembly started a close co-operation with 25 Swedish upper secondary schools, that all have in common that they want to deepen and improve their school´s international co-operation.
 

All upper secondary schools in Sweden have during spring 2007 received a request if they wanted to participate in the project. The interest was huge through out the country. In the end 25 schools from different parts in Sweden were elected to be so called authorized UN-schools.
 

During the autumn term time has been spent with all the authorized schools where frames for the co-operation have been set up and each school have expressed what they expect from the co-operation with the Swedish UN-Assembly. The Co-operation year went on until July 2008 and the next period started in August 2008. It will then be possible to apply to become one of the authorized UN-school. A selection will be made seen from the school´s current international alignment. Its ambition is to develop its international profile along with the geographic location of the school, since an equal spreading through out the country is desirable.
