The civic and non-formal education organization ABF (Актыўнымі Быць Файна) was founded in Belarus in 2015 as a result of a Belarusian-Swedish project to popularize the Swedish study circle methodology , which began in 2012. Prior to the events of 2020, ABF operated in various cities across Belarus, including all regional centers. In 2021, like most NGOs, the organization was forcibly liquidated and ceased operations in the country. However, it reopened and continues to operate as a Belarusian organization in Lithuania, Poland, and Sakartvelo (Georgia). From 2018 to 2023, ABF also implemented a Swedish study circle project for local communities in Ukraine and Moldova.
