Nordic Stuttering Seminar

22-24 August 2008, in Gothenburg, Sweden

It's Sweden's turn to organise the annual Nordic Stuttering Seminar, which is open also to people from the UK and other non-Scandinavian countries. For more information, including the Preliminary Programme, visit the Seminar website at www.nordiska08.blogspot.com.

"The theme is 'See and be' or 'Be seen and heard'. To get the help, understanding and attention we need and to combat the myths and lack of knowledge about stuttering we have to show we exist. And that's not so easy in today's society, where so many call for attention.

"...We need to learn more about how the media works, how we ourselves can become better speakers to make people listen, and how we can increase our membership to become a stronger voice.

"There will be a mixture of workshops on media, presentation techniques, and theatre/body language, but also creative activities such as dancing, games and outdoor activities. The seminar will also have a Swedish theme, with historical outings and a Swedish 'smorgasbord'!

"...Gothenburg and its surroundings have a lot to offer, so grasp the opportunity to see this cultural city and the beautiful West Coast and don't forget to buy a Gothenburg package with lots of special offers on accommodation, sightseeing, shopping etc if you would like to extend your stay."
