The association also maintains Swedish folk high schools and vocational training within the framework of Axxell Utbildning Ab [sv; fi].
The association published magazines, organised events and raised funds as well as tried to show the Russian authorities that they did not want to lose their mother tongue and go to Finnish-speaking schools or become Russian-speakers.
[7] From 1998 to 2015, SFV also ran Svenska produktionsskolan [sv] ('the Swedish Production School', Sveps)[8] in Helsinki and Föregångarna in Vaasa, both of which were transferred to Folkhälsan Utbildning Ab on 1 August 2015.
Svenska folkskolans vänner sponsors the online version of the encyclopedia Uppslagsverket Finland, launched in 2009, which can thus be offered free of charge to readers.
[11] In 2019 SFV gave a grant of 20,000 euros to Projekt Fredrika, which aims to make the Swedish-speaking culture in Finland more visible on Wikipedia.
