In 1906, the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, created the story about Nils and Morten, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils.

Before departing the farm, Nils is transformed into a gnome, a ‘tomte’. Together Nils and Morten travel to every corner of Sweden, learning about nature, history, life. Morten provides wisdom and counsel throughout the journey.

SISOG, just like Morten, provides each child with safety and guidance as they follow their natural sense of adventure and quench their thirst for knowledge.
