July brings changes to the opening hours at Byström One-Stop Guidance Centre . There will be a two‑week break in operations, during which the building is fully closed, but on other weeks the doors remain open with reduced hours. Even though services are scaled down in July, Byström One-Stop Guidance Centre is still very much here – activities, company and support are available throughout the month.

Summer Activities
Although the opening hours are more limited than usual, Byström One-Stop Guidance Centre summer is far from quiet. July offers activities, encounters and relaxed time together. You can drop by, ask for advice or simply cool off for a moment in the air‑conditioned space.
Park Meals and Side Activities
Throughout July, park meals offer a free and safe meeting place for young people. Summer activities are organised alongside the meals, and all side activities are free of charge and open to everyone.
