Organization


SWEA International is the largest non-profit organization promoting Sweden outside of Sweden with the goal of promoting the Swedish language and spreading Swedish culture and tradition.[2]


Each year, SWEA International awards three scholarships of US$10,000 each:


  • The Scholarship for Research Related to the Swedish Language, Literature, and Society[3]

  • The Agneta and Gunnar Nilsson Scholarship for the Study of Intercultural Relations[4]

  • The Sigrid Paskell Scholarship in the Performing Arts[5]

In addition, SWEA International selects a Swedish Woman of the Year[6] annually.


Locally, SWEA International's chapters make donations and present scholarships that total about 2 million Swedish kronor (US$250,000) per year.[7]


SWEA International provides members with support as they relocate and move between countries, as well as welcoming and supporting members when they return to Sweden.


SWEA International has approximately 7,000 women members in approximately 70 local chapters[8] in about 30 countries on five continents.[9]


SWEA International's chairman since 2016 is Christina Hallmert.



History


In 1979, SWEA International was founded in Los Angeles by Agneta Nilsson. Princess Christina Mrs. Magnuson is the association's honorary president.[10]



Swedish Woman of the Year


Since 1989, SWEA International has selected a Swedish Woman of the Year (abbreviated ÅSK, for Årets Svenska Kvinna) annually. The recipient is announced during SWEA's annual meeting each spring and is recognized during the annual "Sweden dinner" organized each summer by one of the chapters located in Sweden.
