Our risk and safety walks are great examples of how we work to develop different forms of participation and place-based learning. The aim is to spread knowledge and encourage discussions about societal risks and preventive measures.
The risk and safety walks are organised by the Centre for Societal Risk Research and consist of a walk-and-talk seminar, where participants get the chance to deepen their knowledge and exchange experiences.

I would like to start by saying thank you for the warm welcome I have received during my first weeks at Karlstad University. I have already met several of you and I look forward to more meetings in the day-to-day operations.
I enjoy meetings, both planned and spontaneous. It might come as a surprise that someone from management would utter such a thing, given the number of meetings I have attended over the years and the likelihood of a very busy schedule ahead.

In a more complex and troubled world, future pre-school teachers need to be better equipped to teach about norms related to the contemporary world, religion and world views. What does their own world view look like compared to that of society based on knowledge and research? Do they feel included in the way pre-school education programmes approach these matters?
The past year, the AI hype has been significant, and the development has been received in different ways. Many see fantastic opportunities, others feel overwhelmed, and some are skeptical.
