Sometimes it’s not the many millions that make the difference. This Friday, I received wonderful news:
”Birgit och Sven Håkan Ohlssons stiftelse has granted 492,100 SEK to the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology for the establishment of Lund Humanities Village.”
(https://www.ht.lu.se/en/collaboration/lund-humanities-village/)
On the same day, Petra Kuritzén from Development Office informed me that an anonymous donor had awarded a similar amount to the project:
“Demokratins hjältar” (Heroes of Democracy) led by Ela Drazkiewicz and Elsa Hedling.
(And as if that weren’t enough, we also learned that RJ has awarded 19 million SEK to the Lund University Humanities Lab for the extension project GoLab —absolutely fantastic news!)
These first two grants will make a real difference. The HT Faculties will now give Lund Humanities Village the green light, and I hope you’ll hear much more about it throughout 2026.
One initiative I’m particularly excited about is a series of activities under the Lund Humanities Village banner aimed at younger generations, focusing on Heroes of Democracy. May they become the generation that defends and develops democracy!
