Please join our three presenters (one American, two Swedish) as we relive those formative, carefree days of grade school through high school.
-Todd Michalek grew up in the early 1960s through the mid 70s attending public schools in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
-Mats Sjöberg grew up in Sweden in the mid 1960s through the late 70s attending the Swedish school system from K-5 to high school in four vastly different geographical areas of Sweden.
-As an added bonus, we’ll have children who recently attended grade school in Sweden. Thus, we’ll be covering 50 years of education.

Come ready to reminisce, learn about changes that have taken place in American/Swedish education/culture these past 50 years and what it means to have grown up Swedish.

Coffee hour to follow.
