SDCN Spring Kick-Off

Join us for the SDCN Spring-Off!

We know it’s far from spring outside in Sweden in January, but this gathering signifies the beginning of the SDCN spring semester. We invite you to be part of an engaging panel discussion featuring experienced SDCN alumni members who once found themselves in the same shoes as you. They will share their stories of what it was like for them to be newcomers in Stockholm, how they settled down, and how they overcame social and professional bottlenecks to find work and make friends.

During this event, we will also provide a comprehensive introduction to SDCN, shedding light on who we are and our core mission. Additionally, we will present a preview of the events we have planned for the upcoming semester. One such highlight is the SDCN Academy: Unlock Sweden, which we will thoroughly introduce and explain the application process for the upcoming cohorts.

The event will follow this outline:

• Introduction to SDCN and an overview of our upcoming activities
• A panel discussion featuring esteemed SDCN alumni members
• An interactive Q&A session

Coffee and tea will be served.
