Summer Academy 2013

Published: Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Changed: Monday, April 08, 2013

The days of the Summer Academy features a blend of full group sessions, parallel "future workshops" and inspirational presentations. Music, culture and nature are woven into the day’s program all to stimulate conversations well into the sunny Swedish’s summer nights.

Date: June 12-17
Last Application date: May 31
Venue: Sida Partnership Forum, Härnösand
Contact person: , LSU, ,
Sida Partnership Forum
Target group: Young people and youth organizations interested in sustainability work.
Course language: English

Costs: Sida Partnership Forum covers room and board. Swedish organizations covers travel costs.

Description: The purpose of the days is to look at sustainability from a variety of angles. Sustainability can be broken down into the environmental, economical and the social dimension. Having in mind that the three dimensions overlaps and can be mutually exclusive and mutually reinforcing the Summer Academy tackles sustainability with an intersectional approach.

As we close in to the Summer Academy the program will be updated with names and sessions. Don’t hesitate to contact LSU or Sida if you have suggestions or ideas for the program.

International Training Programmes

As part of Sida's work with capacity and institutional development Sida offers international training programmes (ITP) for participants from low-and middle-income countries in priority areas. ITP's methodology takes account of the desire to develop and reform that the participants' organization have expressed in their application to the program.
