This summer the Society of International Affairs will visit Almedalen, Visby, for the annual political event Almedalsveckan and we want you to join us! Our umbrella organization, The Swedish Association of International Affairs, SAIA, will be there to represent the many UF organizations in Sweden during 2-6 July, and arrange seminars between 3-5 July.
About Almedalsveckan
Almedalsveckan is Sweden’s biggest forum for political debate and will be arranged during 2-9 July. The event has been arranged for more than 40 years and is a meeting place for politicians, journalists, activists, and other people with an interest in politics. The week consists of seminars, speeches and other fun events open to everyone!
