Lilla Aktuellt – 349 children visualize the Swedish election results

How do you explain the Swedish parliament to children? After the 2026 general election, SVT's children's news programme Lilla Aktuellt let 349 pupils at Stenhamraskolan on Ekerö become the Riksdag – one child for each of the 349 seats. Holding coloured cards for the eight parties, the children formed the new parliament on the school field, showing how many seats each party won and why a majority of 175 seats is needed to form a government.

I was part of the team that spent several days making it happen. I helped plan the shoot – how to place and move 349 children so that the picture makes sense from above – filmed on the ground and flew the drone for the aerial shots, where the whole parliament takes shape.

The film was broadcast in Lilla Aktuellt and Lilla Aktuellt skola and can be watched on SVT Play.

This is one of more than 1,000 stories I have worked on for SVT.
