Swedish Sense and Manners

 

          Welcome to join us on an etiquette trip, from prehistoric time,

                            in the Middle Ages until today

 

 
 


Mats Danielsson is a lecturer from Sweden with a special interest in how to behave
in Sweden. This knowledge is based on many years of research, experiences from
different occupations, his writing and thousands and again thousands of questions
to his website.  Mats has taken part of many different meetings, private and in
 business – and sometimes with hard-erned experiences…

 

Based on all this, Mats will share this interest in an inspired way with many
laughs for the audience. It is a lecture, in English, for your foreign guests.
When the day is over, the negotiations is closed, before dinner ore just to
give them a special event, a unexpected surprise. Why not related to your
company’s exhibition in or outside Sweden? 

 

This is a one hour causerie with historical events, funny stories and of course
