Let your students step into the City Council Chamber, the heart of local democracy, and see where Stockholm is governed from. This week we will focus especially on the Nobel Prizes. Take the opportunity to book a free school tour for your ninth graders!

This week, the 2024 laureates receive a phone call and are told that their particular achievements are being awarded this year’s Nobel Prize.

As a visitor, you will have a unique opportunity to learn about medical research on zebrafish, breeding practices, technology and much more. Step into a world full of possibilities by engaging with the Zebrafish Core Facility at Karolinska Institutet.

Meet the researchers in experimental psychology at the Gösta Ekman Laboratories of Stockholm University. Among other things, they study unconscious learning and how the human brain processes information when localising sounds.

The search for new knowledge is largely about cracking codes. Join us for a panel discussion about what brings together researchers who crack historical ciphers and today’s digital ciphers and find mutations in our genes – as well as about their fascination with scientific challenges.

On Monday 7 October, we will transform the Blue Hall at Stockholm City Hall ‒ main site of the annual Nobel Prize banquet ‒ into a classroom. The city’s ninth graders are being invited to a unique lesson.
