LOJA Study Visit 2024
From 16 to 20 September 2024, CBC LOJA organized the tenth study visit that took place in Stockholm and Uppsala, Sweden. The visit focused on education, peace, multiculturalism, gender equality, and special education. The purpose of this visit was to explore innovative educational practices and strategies aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence, cultural diversity, and inclusive education.
The study visit was attended by a group of 20 students from the six cooperating universities (SEEU, UT, UKIM, UGD, UKLO & UNT).
The participants engaged in a series of workshops, discussions, and visits to educational institutions and organizations. The group had the opportunity to learn and exchange with professors and researchers such as Erika Forsberg, Erik Melander, Garoun Engström and Karen Brounéus from the Department of Peace and Conflict Research – Uppsala University, Armend Bekaj and Sigrid Gruener from the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation – Uppsala, Nihad Bunar and Khaleda Gani Dutt from the Department of Special Education – Stockholm University, as well as Erla Gjinishi and Charlotte Pruth from Kvinna till Kvinna – Stockholm. The program was concluded with a visit to the Stockholm City Museum – Stadsmuseet i Stockholm.
The students gained insights into Sweden’s education system, approaches to fostering multiculturalism, advancing gender equality, and inclusion in schools. This exchange provided valuable opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices, contributing to the participants’ professional growth in these areas.
