Optagonen Workshop

Optagonen AB is a Sweden-based creative education company helping schools strengthen students’ confidence, creativity and communication skills through modern workshops in music, storytelling and AI-driven learning. Traditional school environments often struggle to engage students with formats that feel relevant today. Many young people lack confidence in expressing themselves, and teachers have limited time and tools to support creative development. We solve this by delivering a complete, high-impact workshop model where students create real cultural works together with established Swedish producers, writers and artists. Students write lyrics, record vocals, create stories, draw cover art and publish their work on major streaming platforms. The process builds self-esteem, teamwork and digital literacy through hands-on creation. Under the hood, several autonomous AI systems — built in-house — support logistics, content generation, data processing and post-production. This allows us to scale operations efficiently and deliver consistent quality across hundreds of workshops. With more than 390 workshops delivered in 150+ municipalities across Sweden, Optagonen has proven that creativity is a powerful catalyst for learning. Our mission is to expand this impact further and make creative education accessible, modern and inspiring for every school.

“Kultur är förändring Genom kultur kan vi förändra vårt sätt att vara mot oss själva och andra. Kultur är abstrakt och mångfaldig Kultur kan finnas i många former och uttryckas på många sätt. Vi vill hjälpa till med att hålla kultur-Sverige levande genom att erbjuda ett brett sortiment av workshoppar. Kultur får dig att känna på insidan Kultur är ickeverbalt och en universal känsla som även påverka”
