Plan

The reading/discussions will be based on the book ”Att vara kvinna över sitt liv: 10 budord för dig som vill framåt” by Barbro Dahlbom-Hall, a nestor in female leadership.
 
Unfortunately, the book is only available in Swedish. You are very welcome to participate even if your Swedish is not yet fluent, as long as it is good enough for you to understand the text in the book. The discussions can be a mix of Swedish and English.
 
All participants meet once first when we discuss the aims and plans for the “project”. If we are more than 5 participants we will divide into smaller groups with 3-4 people per group. The small groups then meet discuss each chapter, mixed with two larger meetings. Each participant buys the book themselves, ca 200 kr in print, or as an e-book.
