"I thought it would be great, I found that it was absolutely phenomenal. The daily schedule offered students quality time for Swedish language during morning classes, but also practical, cultural, and social skills during afternoon. As overwhelming as that sounds, it was truly a pleasure. Overall, I cannot recommend UISS enough. I will be back for years to come.." - Mona

"UISS is the only program in Sweden that offers Swedish at all levels, especially the more advanced ones. The quality of the teachers has always exceeded my expectations. They all have a solid linguistic education and are trained to teach Swedish as a foreign language. Most teachers speak other languages which is helpful when they explain things to a multicultural class." - Paloma

"The staff and the students were amazing and we got to create some strong friendships. It is not just learning Swedish, there were also lots of other activities like visiting the ABBA museum, Stockholm, a moose safari and lots of wonderful museums. Uppsala is a very beautiful city, and I would recommend everyone to visit it. There is no wasted time at UISS; there is always something nice to do. It is the perfect balance for learning-socializing- traveling- partying and so on. We would recommend everyone to be part of this program. Not only for the Swedish, but also for the experience." - Mimi and Rafail

I am immensely grateful for the job I have Uppsala International Summer Session, Every single summer I have a wonderful group of people that have one thing in common, learning or improve the Swedish language. The joy I feel, the happiness to have people of all ages, 35-42 nationalities, together as a mini-world, is immense. They all get along just fine and they experience something they will take with them and spread it.

One of my students, Mona, sister to two brothers who studied with us a couple of summers, joined the program 2022 and 2023. I didn’t know she was Palestinian until last summer. She is a wonderful young woman, passionate about many things, intelligent, interesting, with a depth that is amazing, loving, has the gift of singing and playing several instruments. We keep in touch and she sent me this documentary that she and a couple of friends made. Their stories, their music and the way they talk about their culture is something very special.

I was personally very touched by this and I would love it if you took the time to watch it. The 3 of them studied together in Bristol, England. This is a very special documentary, personal. Three young people who wish to keep their culture alive. It has touched me deeply. Enjoy watching it, it’s about 20 minutes, and feel welcome to share it.

Thank you!

Generation Palestine is a cultural documentary that follows my dear friends and family as they discuss the culture of Palestine and what it means to them as ...
