Come join us at Almedalen this summer!

Update: Due to the current situation regarding Covid-19, registration for Almedalen has been extended. We will get back to you as soon as we know more.

Come join us at Almedalen this summer!

Almedalen Week is an annual event that this year takes place between Sunday 28 June and Sunday 5 July in Visby, where politicians, those in power and opinion leaders meet to discuss current topics of relevance to society. SFS usually always sends parts of the office and the old and new presidium to represent the students in debates, book meetings with otherwise difficult-to-reach people in power and generally meet the higher education sector. This year we want to test having a joint participation in Almedalen; we know that many unions would like to go to Almedalen but have sometimes commented that it is difficult to arrange accommodation and it is unclear which events are best to attend. 

The purpose of this is partly to enable more people to participate in Almedalen's events and partly to create a more cohesive student movement by allowing us all to meet each other at the beginning of the academic year. The board and committees also have the opportunity to participate at cost price. SFS has booked most of the rooms in the primary school where the presidium and the office usually live. The offer is therefore no more than a piece of floor space in a school room that you will share with a maximum of 9 others and the opportunity to shower in the school premises. Inflatable mattress, hygiene products, food, etc. and also travel are arranged by ourselves. SFS will not arrange any additional or special events in connection with this and will not coordinate those who participate, but will only enable participation by offering a place to sleep during the week. However, we will, as usual, state which seminars and events SFS presidium participate in and be available for questions. You can also find more information on the Almedalsveckan website: https://almedalsveckan.info/

Registration will be carried out according to a two-step model. Until March 16, you have the opportunity to register using the form below. If there are more registrations than places, the presidium will make an assessment of how the places should be distributed. After confirmation from the presidium, those who have been awarded a place will have two weeks to pay into SFS bankgiro, which is stated in the confirmation. Those who have not paid by that date will lose their place. If you want to pre-register individuals, for example not yet elected representatives, you can enter the same name several times and then we can replace them afterwards - however, it may be difficult to accommodate requests for room placement for these.
