The National Museums of World Culture coordinates the Swedish network of the Anna Lindh Foundation and it consists of four museums: the Museum of Ethnography, the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm, along with the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg. The organization is assigned by the Swedish Government the task of exhibiting culture of the world and bringing it to life. The task also includes the promotion of interdisciplinary knowledge formation and new ways of meeting the public.

The National Museums of World Culture is a link in the nationwide initiative aimed at adapting the collections of historical and ethnographic museums to the globalization process. World culture is not only about communication, reciprocity, and interdependence, but the specificity, concretion and uniqueness of each and every individual.

The Foundation provides logistical and operational support to the National Network in Sweden through the Network Strategic Development Scheme (NSDS). For more information, please refer to the document "NSDS, step 5 ” under Resources column on the right. This document highlights the main responsibilities and services to be provided by the Network Coordinator for the members until 31 August 2013.

Under Resources you can also find other important documents for the Network, such as: Network Internal Rules, Members List and Member Survey Results 2010.

The Swedish network consists of around 80 organizations. Most of these institutions work in the areas of education, youth, arts, environment, democracy, international relations and human rights.

THE SWEDISH NETWORK GETTING READY FOR THE ALF FORUM 2010

Swedish HoN

The Anna Lindh Swedish Network, headed by the National Museums of World Culture and represented by Katarina Stigwall,has been one of the most active during the second half of 2009. With the start of the Swedish Presidency for the EU, the Head of the Swedish network has contributed in September in the first preparatory meeting of the Forum, “The EuroMed Media Forum”, followed by the Heads of Networks meeting held in Gothenburg in November, and which gave the final outlines of the Forum.

“The upcoming Anna Lindh Forum represents a real opportunity for the Swedish network. The overall theme of the Forum is not only appealing to the member organisations, but also the opportunity to meet colleagues from other countries who are active in the same field and present our own projects and activities. The Anna Lindh Forum will surely have great impact on the participants, generating new contacts and an exchange of ideas and inspiration. Our challenge is to spread the momentum in our national networks, and to share the experiences with even broader circles. That way the Forum and its topics will affect a larger community of active NGOs, all over the EuroMed Region”.
