Swedish Alumni Network Uganda

🇺🇬 Hej då, Uganda — Hej Hej Sverige! ✈️🥳 🇸🇪

We were graciously hosted at the Embassy of Sweden in Kampala for a special send-off event for the brilliant students heading to Sweden on the prestigious Svenska institutet (SI) scholarships.

It was an afternoon of inspiration, laughter, fika (of course!) and heartfelt advice as alumni from the Swedish Alumni Network Uganda shared stories, survival tips (yes, Swedes do eat cold sandwiches voluntarily), and what not to say in a sauna 😅🧖‍♂️

To our new students: Sweden may be cold, but your dreams are on fire 🔥
Pack warm socks, embrace the silence, don’t fear the snow and remember, you now belong to a fika-loving, equality-powered, bike-riding, nature-hiking global family!

Lycka till och vi ses snart 💙💛
(= Good luck and see you soon)

On Friday, August 16th, about 30 members of the Sweden Alumni Network in Uganda gathered at Four Points by Sheraton, Kampala, for an impactful capacity boost event on Green Technology and Clean Energy. 💡

Facilitated by Climate Hub International and funded by the Svenska institutet , the capacity boost event equipped alumni with the knowledge and leadership skills to advocate for sustainable practices in their communities, organizations, and households. We covered carbon literacy, the sources and impacts of carbon emissions, environmental adaptation and resilience and practical solutions for promoting Green Technology and Clean Energy in Uganda. 🌱

Participants also explored sustainability frameworks through real-world case studies, gaining insights into how to drive environmental sustainability in Uganda. 🌍💚

Special thanks to Ms. Ayekoh Daphine, National Programme Officer for Renewable Energy and Innovation at the Embassy of Sweden in Kampala, for her inspiring remarks. She emphasized the need to manage greenhouse gas emissions, adopt efficient heating systems, and engage in a circular green economy—key to creating green tech jobs, boosting energy security, and ensuring a sustainable future. ⚡🌿

At the event's close, alumni signed the ACT NOW Sustainability Board, pledging to lead and advocate for sustainable solutions. Each received a certificate recognizing their new skills and commitment. 📝🌍
