This week's guest speaker is Ali Alabdallah, a Syrian-Swedish author, works as a resource manager in Landskrona.

 

He came to Sweden as a refugee in 2013 and has since written six books in Swedish, including:

  • Att Äsksa Knäckerbröd (To Love Crispbread)
  • Nytt job I nytt land (A New Job in a New Country)
  • Mångkultur I din Jobbkultur (Many cultures in your work culture)
  • Ukraina, Livet bortom vetefälten (Ukraine Behind the Wheat Field)
  • Därför är så manga rädda för socialtjänsten (Why So Many are afraid of Social Services)

Ali will talk about  his experiences and insights  of living between two cultures and two countries — between failure and success.

 

This will be a hybrid meeting held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmö, and virtually on Zoom.
