The project involves key individuals including Umurahma Ramadahn, a 22-year-old resident and coordinator at the association Hej Främling, Mikael Wahl, a pedagogue at Ordpalatset, and Kristoffer Lundberg, activity coordinator at Hässlehuset who was previously active in the Left Party in Angered. According to SVT Väst, Kristoffer Lundberg described three narratives about Hässleholmen: the police's, the municipality's, and those who live or work here. According to SVT Väst, Umurahma Ramadahn described that people outside Hässleholmen have an image of the area that makes them perhaps not want to be there, noting that high school students might rather take the bus past Hässle and hang out in Hulta because Hässleholmen is perceived as 'dangerous', but that is not true.
According to SVT Väst, Umurahma Ramadahn described that it is not the everyday life for everyone who lives there, adding that things happen in other places too because society has changed, and the most important thing is to remove the stigma, and one should not be ashamed, but proud to live in Hässle. As part of the project, workshops have been held with residents on how to interview and write. According to SVT Väst, Mikael Wahl described that they want it to be their words and thoughts, even though they go through the articles together.

According to SVT Väst, Kristoffer Lundberg described that this is the future, and every time you give the voice to a local community to describe their own reality, you shift the positions and it strengthens democracy. Specific events contributing to Hässleholmen's reputation as 'dangerous' are not detailed, and the number of residents involved as writers, circulation plans, and success metrics remain unclear.
