Embassy in a Box at a Governor's Residence

Ambassador Barzun and Governor Alsér outside the Embassy in a box at the Governor's residence.

Busy day in Växjö - flipping pancakes for hungry 8th-graders, answering questions at the Linneaus University, hosting the first-ever s.a.g.a. stund, all the while many visitor took the opportunity to sit down with the Consul and the Foreign Commercial Service.

In addition, Consul Martin Tatuch, assisted by representatives of the Education USA Student Corps and Public Affairs, talked about studying in the U.S. and getting that much-needed visa.

Before packing up the Embassy in a Box for this time, PAO Chris Dunnett moderated an open forum on how to build on the history of U.S.-Swedish relations while reaching out to and engaging with the next generation.
