German term or phrase: allgegenwärtig
"44 Schulen tragen ihren Namen und sorgen damit dafür, dass ein schönes Stück schwedischer Kultur in NRW allgegenwärtig/immer präsent ist."
- is it possible to choose "omnipresent" in this sentence???

everywhere
Explanation:
Omnipresent is the literal translation, but does sound a little dated!

I'd just stick with 'everywhere'

thus ensuring that a little bit of Swedish culture can be found everywhere in NRW.
