The Embassy of Sweden organised two events at Europe House in Podgorica dedicated to presenting Sweden and strengthening young people’s resilience in today’s digital environment.
In the morning, a pop-up (temporary) embassy was opened – a one-day initiative designed to bring Sweden closer to visitors by showcasing its values, social model, and opportunities for young people.
The central part of the programme was the exhibition “Sweden in General.” Through photographs, facts, and personal stories, this exhibition presented Sweden as a country of openness, innovation, sustainability, equality, and a strong commitment to education and international cooperation.
A “Study in Sweden” presentation was also held, providing students and young professionals with insight into academic opportunities in one of the European Union’s most innovative countries.
The afternoon segment of the programme was dedicated to the event “Strengthening Youth Resilience in the European Information Space”, organised in partnership with the Digital Forensic Centre, the Young European Ambassadors network, and Europe House in Podgorica.
The event brought together young people, experts, and institutional representatives to discuss challenges within the digital sphere – from information manipulation and polarisation to cyber risks. Swedish experts also took part, including Johannes Lindgren from the Swedish Defence Research Agency and Anika Andreasson from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), who, together with Montenegrin partners, presented current trends and practical tools for strengthening young people’s digital resilience.
The events reaffirmed the shared commitment of Sweden, Montenegro, and the European Union to openness, education, cooperation, and the building of a resilient, informed, and active society, particularly among young people.
