To have an impact.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase is central to the concept of 'Engagemang' (engagement/commitment). Swedes value active participation in 'föreningar' (associations) to make a difference. Swedish companies often use 'göra skillnad' in their branding to appeal to the 'millennial' workforce that prioritizes purpose over profit. Teachers often use this phrase to motivate students, focusing on how their knowledge can help others in the future. Greta Thunberg's message 'No one is too small to make a difference' was translated into Swedish as 'Ingen är för liten för att göra skillnad', becoming a modern proverb.
