Folkelig AS is a social entrepreneur based in Bergen, focusing on public health for children and young people. The company aims to reduce social inequality in health by developing and implementing solutions for both local and national public health work. Through various activity programs, such as Smaksverkstedet and Matjungelen, Folkelig works to give children and young people the joy of food and food literacy.
An important part of Folkelig AS's approach is the use of food as a tool to create social mastery arenas.

In addition, they collaborate with local instructors to build community and carry out projects such as neighborhood dinners and job training in kindergartens.
