Almedalsveckan 28.6.-5.7.2015
Almedalsveckan ("Almedals Week") in Visby, Gotland, is Sweden’s biggest political meeting place which, via democracy and
openness, gives everyone who wants to debate social issues the
opportunity to take part. The parliamentary political parties are at the heart of Almedalen Week.
Their participation, with seminars, press conferences and speeches from
Almedalen, forms the basis of the event.
Other events have followed, for example special programme on Baltic Sea protection. In 2015 also Baltic Sea Challenge participated together with its cooperation partners.
