25 March 2024New Eurovision and ABBA material on Sharing Sweden
The Eurovision toolkit has been updated with new material for the ABBA jubilee, a social media plan, and event material for Eurovision. More social media content will come up until the end of April.
On 6 April it’s 50 years since ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. You can find material to celebrate this event in the toolkit. The material includes a recorded speech from Björn Ulvaeus, a face hole cut-out-board of ABBA, social media content, a playlist, and talking points on ABBA’s Eurovision victory.
You can also find event material for a Eurovision celebration in the toolkit. For example there are templates for invitations and posters to market your event. The material also includes tips on how to create a viewing party and a logo and designs for merch such as balloons, metal pins, and totebags. All material is to be produced locally.

28 February 2024Enhanced financial support for Sweden promotion
We are pleased to announce that the Swedish Institute has secured additional funding for Sweden promotion in 2024. Consequently, the previous financial limitation of 100,000 SEK/year per embassy and consulate has been lifted.
When you seek financial support, it should still primarily cover local production costs for toolkit materials and expenses related to invited guest speakers. While other event-related costs, such as venue rentals and communication expenses, may be considered, they should constitute only a minor portion of the budget. Catering costs will only be covered for Study in Sweden and Sweden alumni relations events.
You apply for financial support via the SI Customer Portal. If you have not yet done so, please create an account to initiate the application process. As usual, resources are limited, funding may not be available at all times. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Financial support and how to apply

28 February 2024The Swedish film selection 2024 is here
The first four films of the 2024 Swedish film selection are now released: Together 99 by Lukas Moodysson, UFO Sweden by the film collective Crazy Pictures, the documentary The King by Karin af Klintberg, and Bullets directed by Peter Pontikis.
To offer as many new films as possible, one or two more films will be added during the year.
With the new application process, you only need to make your application in one place, using the same application form for both the films and the financial support. You apply via the SI customer portal, using the new form for the Swedish film selection.
The Swedish Institute will translate films into German, Spanish and French on demand. Make sure to apply in good time, to ensure that there is enough time for translation. For other languages, you will need to include the costs for local translation in the budget of your application.

For example there are templates for invitations and posters to market your event. The material also includes tips on how to create a viewing party and a logo and designs for merch such as balloons, metal pins, and totebags.

Consequently, the previous financial limitation of 100,000 SEK/year per embassy and consulate has been lifted.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you seek financial support, it should still primarily cover local production costs for toolkit materials and expenses related to invited guest speakers. While other event-related costs, such as venue rentals and communication expenses, may be considered, they should constitute only a minor portion of the budget. Catering costs will only be covered for Study in Sweden and Sweden alumni relations events.\n\n\n\nYou apply for financial support via the SI Customer Portal. If you have not yet done so, please create an account to initiate the application process. As usual, resources are limited, funding may not be available at all times. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out.\n\n\n\nFinancial support and how to apply\n\n\n\nCreate an account or log in to the customer portal\n\n\n",

"content": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first four films of the 2024 Swedish film selection are now released: Together 99 by Lukas Moodysson, UFO Sweden by the film collective Crazy Pictures, the documentary The King by Karin af Klintberg, and Bullets directed by Peter Pontikis. \n\n\n\n\nTo offer as many new films as possible, one or two more films will be added during the year.\n\n\n\nWith the new application process, you only need to make your application in one place, using the same application form for both the films and the financial support. You apply via the SI customer portal, using the new form for the Swedish film selection.\n\n\n\nThe Swedish Institute will translate films into German, Spanish and French on demand. Make sure to apply in good time, to ensure that there is enough time for translation. For other languages, you will need to include the costs for local translation in the budget of your application. \n\n\n\nThe Swedish film selection\n\n\n",

More social media content will come up until the end of April.\n\n\n\n\nOn 6 April it’s 50 years since ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. You can find material to celebrate this event in the toolkit. The material includes a recorded speech from Björn Ulvaeus, a face hole cut-out-board of ABBA, social media content, a playlist, and talking points on ABBA’s Eurovision victory. \n\n\n\nYou can also find event material for a Eurovision celebration in the toolkit. For example there are templates for invitations and posters to market your event. The material also includes tips on how to create a viewing party and a logo and designs for merch such as balloons, metal pins, and totebags. All material is to be produced locally.\n\n\n\nEurovision toolkit\n\n\n",

Consequently, the previous financial limitation of 100,000 SEK/year per embassy and consulate has been lifted.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you seek financial support, it should still primarily cover local production costs for toolkit materials and expenses related to invited guest speakers. While other event-related costs, such as venue rentals and communication expenses, may be considered, they should constitute only a minor portion of the budget. Catering costs will only be covered for Study in Sweden and Sweden alumni relations events.\n\n\n\nYou apply for financial support via the SI Customer Portal. If you have not yet done so, please create an account to initiate the application process. As usual, resources are limited, funding may not be available at all times. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out.\n\n\n\nFinancial support and how to apply\n\n\n\nCreate an account or log in to the customer portal\n\n\n",

You apply via the SI customer portal, using the new form for the Swedish film selection.\n\n\n\nThe Swedish Institute will translate films into German, Spanish and French on demand. Make sure to apply in good time, to ensure that there is enough time for translation. For other languages, you will need to include the costs for local translation in the budget of your application. \n\n\n\nThe Swedish film selection\n\n\n",

Consequently, the previous financial limitation of 100,000 SEK/year per embassy and consulate has been lifted.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you seek financial support, it should still primarily cover local production costs for toolkit materials and expenses related to invited guest speakers. While other event-related costs, such as venue rentals and communication expenses, may be considered, they should constitute only a minor portion of the budget. Catering costs will only be covered for Study in Sweden and Sweden alumni relations events.\n\n\n\nYou apply for financial support via the SI Customer Portal. If you have not yet done so, please create an account to initiate the application process. As usual, resources are limited, funding may not be available at all times. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out.\n\n\n\nFinancial support and how to apply\n\n\n\nCreate an account or log in to the customer portal\n\n\n",

You apply via the SI customer portal, using the new form for the Swedish film selection.\n\n\n\nThe Swedish Institute will translate films into German, Spanish and French on demand.
