SACC-GA Newsletter | January 2020

MONTHLY NEWS & UPDATES

Greetings, I hope everyone's 2020 is off to a good start! First of all I would like to introduce our Spring 2020 trainee. Marco Benedetto is a student from the University of Gothenburg. While he is here he is also participating in a class called International Practicum (with a focus on the Nordics) at the Scheller School of Business at Georgia Tech. Next up on our event calendar we have a Lego Serious Play workshop. Come find out what LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is all about and learn more about how it can be used in work related settings. Other SACC regional chambers who have had similar events say that their members found that the event encouraged "problem solving and creative thinking". Best Regards, Ida Pond Executive Director SACC GA

Nordic Community

SACC GA and other representatives from the Nordic community had the opportunity to speak to the impressive students in Christopher Grahn’s International Practicum class at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business. The class focuses on business in the Nordics and they are working on consulting projects for Nordic companies. Later this Spring the students will travel to Sweden and Denmark.

Scandinavian Festival Annual Meeting

In the early 2000's the Scandinavian festival was an annual event held in Atlanta. In the most recent years the primary purpose of the Scandinavian Festival orgnization has been to foster, promote, and increase appreciation and understanding of the diversity and richness of the Scandinavian heritage. The Festival’s endeavor is to help all the Nordic countries raise their events from “good to great” by offering grants provided through an application process. These grants are processed by the Festival Board and are on a timeline which is strictly followed.
