It has its seat in Stockholm and publishes the magazine "Folkvett". Its president is Jesper Jerkert.

Every year, the organization gives prizes on " [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85rets_folkbildare Årets folkbildare] " (educator of the year) and " [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85rets_f%C3%B6rvillare Årets förvillare] " (deceiver of the year).
