Special editions – Almedalen 2026

House of Many Voices in Almedalen: A platform for important voices

This year’s Almedalen edition is part of our effort to create space for open dialogue on the issues shaping society.

Throughout the week, we open our stage to organizations working on the frontlines of societal development, helping bring forward perspectives that might otherwise go unheard.

The initiative brings together voices from civil society, business, and the public sector to share insights and explore solutions to complex challenges.

In Almedalen, this takes a concrete form: each participating organization is given the space to set its own agenda and lead conversations on the issues they know best.

Meet the organizations  

Together with our partners, we bring forward perspectives on some of the most pressing societal challenges. 

• Rädda Barnen (Save the Children Sweden) 
  Works to improve children’s lives and rights, in Sweden and globally, by addressing issues such as child poverty, protection, and long-term social sustainability.  

• Prinsparets Stiftelse 
  Focuses on creating safer and more inclusive environments for children and young people, with initiatives around mental health, digital safety, and inclusion.  

• Beredskapslyftet

Explore the conversations shaping this year’s agenda 

Throughout Almedalen Week, House of Many Voices takes place at Hästgatan 2, Visby, where we open our stage to organizations working at the forefront of key societal challenges. 

Each organization hosts its own session and sets the agenda for the conversation, bringing forward perspectives on topics such as children’s rights, public health, inclusion, and crisis preparedness.
