Moving from our usual spot at the Science department SwedenDay was held at Plaza@YIH this spring. Karolinska Institute is the founder and main sponsor of SwedenDay yet we are providing Singaporeans with information from no less then 14 Swedish Universities/educational institutions. Present at NUS we had Swedish exchange students from seven Swedish universities and quite a number of locals showed up to talk about there time in Sweden or inquire about further studies.

We started the day with a very popular Fiskedamm (Swedish Fish Pond) where we handed out goodiebags values $ 25-55. The crowed stayed on to sample cookies and get some more information until we kicked of a fantastic fashion show by Style:Nordic.

Throughout the day the Swedish Embassy answered all kinds of questions about sweden and we all enjoyed the Swedish music and picture slides on stage. In a small marketing study conducted by SwedenDay we got interesting suggestions for upcoming events and everybody who would still be in Singapore answered that they would like to visit SwedenDay again, next semester. So keep an eye out - next event will be held in October 2010. A very warm welcome then - and a big thank you for this semester!!
