What will we learn & practice together?
Art of Hosting Karlskrona has become an annual three-day training, organized by MSLS students (Master of Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability) on a non-profit basis, and facilitated by international experienced facilitators, in order to learn simple yet powerful practices that build community, activate collective intelligence and foster individual and collaborative leadership in a complex world.

Engage in hands-on practice-based training. This training is an opportunity to step into participatory leadership. We will work on the edge of ‘praxis’ - the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized through direct application.

We take a strategic view by asking “Why are we gathering? Is this needed? Who needs to be here?” and moving from a place of usefulness.
During the Art of Hosting training we will explore a range of participatory tools, concepts and methods that may include:
