Welcome to SWEA London!

SWEA London is the UK-based chapter of SWEA, the Swedish Women's Association, Inc. SWEA London was established in 1989 by Anna Curman and presently has almost 200 members.

SWEA is an international charitable association for Swedish speaking women residing outside Sweden, or having returned to Sweden after having lived abroad. SWEA brings members together around the shared Swedish language, the Swedish heritage and the Swedish culture, thereby establishing both a social meeting point and an international network. The membership facilitates life abroad and provides support at the time of resettlement in Sweden.

SWEA was founded by Agneta Nilsson in 1979. Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson, is SWEA's Honorary Chairman. Presently, SWEA has some 8,000 members, organized in 80 chapters in 35 countries. Like other chapters around the world, SWEA London's objective is to promote the Swedish language, culture and traditions, to facilitate personal and professional contacts and to establish a network for Swedish women in the country of operation and internationally.

SWEA London supports projects in the UK with relevance to Swedish culture, and annually awards a scholarship (presently £ 1.000). If you are interested please contact Mrs Rigmor Rutlin e-mail rigmorrutlin@aol.com or phone No 01753 ? 851776.
