Cultural Affairs
The Embassy’s Cultural Affairs unit engages in various activities to enhance the understanding of American society and values through cultural exchanges and by organizing conferences, seminars and talks by visiting American officials and academics, as well as electronic meetings of American and Swedish counterparts.
Through the U.S. Speakers Program the Embassy brings American experts to Sweden to speak on topics related to Mission priorities. Offices and agencies are welcome to provide suggestions for speaker programs that can support your goals. If you have a speaker request, or questions about the speaker program, please contact us at: stkspeakers@state.gov
The Cultural Affairs unit also promotes the study of American literature, history, and government by collaborating with leading Swedish universities, and works closely with think tanks and research institutions to promote better understanding of U.S. foreign policy, economic and political trends and other current American domestic issues.
