About SSE
Projects
At the Stockholm School of Economics, five projects highlighting diversity are going on. These projects are a regular part of the SSE student body activities. A significant number of students are engaged in these projects.
Follow that student!
Would you like to visit SSE and accompany a student on her/his lecture, get a tour of the university college and ask questions on what studying at SSE is really like?
Everyone is welcome to visit us. However, we target students with non-academic backgrounds to give them the opportunity to visit a university college, get to know a student and get a picture of what it means to study on this level.
For more information, contact admissions officer Kristina Olsson or let us know you are interested at skuggastudent@hhs.se
Coaching and coaxing to learn (a.k.a. “the LAL project)
At least once a week, students from SSE are going to Rinkebyskolan (a secondary school in a largely immigrant suburb of Stockholm) and coach students in core subjects. The project represents the meeting of two worlds – each with a ”subculture” of its own. The idea is that the cultural interchange arising out of that meeting will enrich both groups. The LAL project is also part of the “Rinkeby Business Lab”.
For more information contact the project coordinators Martin Carlsson or Karin Hederos Eriksson.
Rinkeby Business Lab
SSE is participating in a two-year project on entrepreneurship, starting in the fall of 2004. The aim of the project is to work out a model for instilling an enterprising spirit among students at Rinkebyskolan [a secondary school in a largely immigrant suburb of Stockholm], and in collaboration with SSE and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise enhance diversity in both the academic world and the Swedish business community. The emphasis rests on entrepreneurship.
For more information contact the project coordinators Martin Carlsson or Karin Hederos Eriksson.
SSE ambassadors project
Starting several years ago, SSE runs the “SSE ambassadors project” which has the aim of informing secondary school students about SSE: the education, the activities of the student body, the various backgrounds of SSE students etc. The guiding light of the project is “diversity”. In the selection of secondary schools to visit as well as in the presentation on SSE, “diversity” is the crucial perspective. In addition to informing on the SSE educational program, secondary school students, teachers and study and careers counsellors get to know about the active work on gender equality and diversity issues at SSE.
For more information contact the project coordinator Andreas Brunlöf.
“Birds of different feathers...”
SSE was awarded a grant from Rekryteringsdelegationen, Ministry of Education, for a two-year project aiming at increasing ethnic and social diversity of the student body. The project has two parts: (1) a one-day conference addressing student counsellors throughout Sweden, and (2) a nationwide tour (spring 2004). The objective is to double the share of SSE students whose parents are not college-educated from today’s 5 per cent to 10 per cent and to increase the share of students from immigrant families from 16 to 20 per cent.
A thematic day featuring diversity in higher education in general and diversity at SSE in particular was arranged at SSE. In addition, recruitment tours are conducted all over the country. During these tours, an ad hoc diversity brochure, “Vem läser på Handelshögskolan” (Who studies at SSE?), is being distributed.
For more information contact the project coordinator Anders Jörnsköld.
