Parliamentary Democracy, Indigenous Rights, and Baltic Beauty
Built across 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, is often called the "capital of Scandinavia". It is a stunning city of economic and cultural clout, balancing deep medieval history with a reputation as one of the greenest cities in the world. Sweden serves as the perfect bridge in a classic Nordics program, often paired seamlessly with Denmark and Finland for an unforgettable three-country itinerary.
Why Sweden
Sweden offers a robust environment for studying constitutional law, migration, and human rights. CLE Abroad participants have the opportunity to visit the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament) to learn about EU lawmaking, proportionality, and the Swedish legislative process. Deep-dive discussions cover the legal framework for asylum and shifting immigration policies, as well as historical and contemporary legislation impacting the Indigenous Sami people, such as the Reindeer Husbandry Act. Participants may also visit the nation’s highest judicial authority, the Swedish Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen).
Who is this for?
This destination is ideal for professionals, history buffs, and travelers interested in European migration policies, indigenous rights, and maritime history. It accommodates professional, companions, and cultural enthusiasts beautifully.
