Cultural Immersion in Sweden

Beyond the Classrooms • Halmstad • 2025

Beyond the classrooms, our time in Sweden was a journey into the heart of a new culture. Every moment was a window into Swedish life, fostering friendship, understanding, and celebrating what makes each of our cultures special.

"The experience was more than just travel; it was about friendship, understanding, and celebrating what makes each culture special."

Exploring Halmstad

From an immersive tour through the Halmstad old town to hiking along its stunning beaches, we connected with the history and landscape of the region. We even laced up our skates for some ice skating—a first for many of our team members!

Flavors of the Forest

One of our highlights was picking mushrooms in the woods before an afternoon of making hotdogs in the forest and enjoying unique Swedish tacos. It was a perfect blend of nature and culinary tradition, showing us how the local community respects and utilizes their land.

Sharing Our Tables

Cultural exchange happens best over food. We tasted traditional dishes like Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce and, in return, shared the vibrant flavors of Kenya with our hosts. This exchange was a beautiful reminder that food, stories, and laughter are truly universal languages.
