Sommarakademi 2012 – Break a norm

Published: Friday, June 01, 2012

Changed: Friday, June 01, 2012

LSU and Sida Partnership Forum welcomes engaged youth from organsations and networks to a summer week about diversity and norm critical thinking.

When? 26th to 28th of June, 2012 

Where? At Sida Partnership Forum in Härnösand

 

In June the SommarAkademi 2012 takes place, aiming to discuss and problematise ingrained patterns and behaviours.

How do we work with norm critical thinking and create conditions for diversity? How do we challenge our prejudices and become better at making visible questions of diversity in the day to day running of our organisations?

 Inspiration, theory, concrete tools and methods are combined with creating your own plans for the future, working with your own case and learning from other actors' work with diversity.

The program is also packed with summer sun, locally sourced vegetarian food, entertainment and a great atmosphere at Sida Partnership Forum.

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.
