OUTREACH PROGRAM 2017: Safe and Sound

The theme for the Embassy of Sweden 2017 outreach program is "Safe and Sound". Exhibitions, concerts, seminars, conferences and social events will highlight Swedish core values which serve as a foundation for our relations with the United States.

Throughout the year we will discuss how to provide safer, more secure - and yet resilient- societies within a global context. We will emphasize the importance of open, free and fair trade, economic empowerment, green economics, climate and sustainability, women, peace and security and the importance of equality for all.

Through our extensive cultural events program we will highlight the importance of music, dance, literature, visual arts and film in creating dialogue and awareness. The theme program is presented in collaboration with MSB, Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.

Exhibitions like Where The Children Sleep by Swedish photographer Magnus Wennman (above) will be on display in House of Sweden from March 18. More soon!

Gender Equality - We’ve come a long way - haven’t we?
On display until March 5 in House of Sweden

Sweden’s achievements in gender equality are hailed as inspiring examples. Regardless of whether they were made possible by tradition, Swedish culture or legislation, steps have been taken to ensure that women and men have equal opportunities and equal power to shape society and their own lives. Focusing on four sub-goals of gender equality set up by the Swedish government: Equal division of power and influence; Economic equality; Equal distribution of unpaid housework and provision of care and Men's violence against women must stop the exhibition aims to inspire and reflect as well as discuss the changes which have been made and to initiate the changes still needed.

Presented in partnership with: Swedish Institute. #GenderEquality.
