The American-Scandinavian Foundation THE AMERICAN-SCANDINAVIAN FOUNDATION BI-ANNUAL REPORT JULY 1, 2011 TO JUNE 30, 2013 The American-Scandinavian Foundation BI-ANNUAL REPORT July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2013 The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) serves as a vital educational and cultural link between the United States and the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. A publicly supported nonprofit organization, the Foundation fosters cultural understanding, provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, and sustains an extensive program of fellowships, grants, internships/training, publishing, and cultural events. Over 30,000 Scandinavians and Americans have participated in its exchange programs over the last century. In October 2000, the ASF inaugurated Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, its headquarters, where it presents a broad range of public programs furthering its mission to reinforce the strong relationships between the United States and the Nordic nations, honoring their shared values and appreciating their differences. 58 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10016 • AMscan.ORG H.M.

This period was an especially active one for the ASF, as it marked the conclusion of our Centennial celebrations and the commencement of a new century for the organization. Officially chartered as a an educational institution on March 16, 1911, The American-Scandinavian Foundation has since its beginning been devoted to furthering international understanding between the United States and the Nordic countries through educational and cultural exchange. Our Centennial was distinguished by a renewed commitment to this mission as evidenced by an unusually rich variety of special programs, many presented at Scandinavia House. These included three Centennial Exhibitions; a number of lectures by Nordic leaders in the arts and public affairs; special film and musical events; a major international symposium on Early Childhood Development; and a particular highlight, the Centennial Ball, held in the presence of the Nordic Heads of State and attended by 1,200 guests. Additionally, during fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the ASF provided 145 students, scholars, and artists with important financial assistance, helping them to further their studies and work abroad, while 24 educational and arts organizations received public project grants. During the same period, we made it possible for 439 young Scandinavians to receive valuable on-the-job training through our J-1 Visa Internship/ Training Program. Also, over 5,000 members, subscribers, and friends regularly read our illustrated journal, Scandinavian Review, itself now 99 years old, and countless thousands visited our websites. In addition to special Centennial offerings, the ASF presented at Scandinavia House, more than 250 programs—films, concerts, lectures, language classes, and children’s activities—and was visited by more than a quarter of a million individuals. It has been a unique, historic period, and I am grateful for the leadership and unflagging support of the ASF Trustees, as well as the dedicated commitment of our enormously hardworking staff which has made it all possible.

  • 09-29 Drömmen Om Jerusalem I Samarb. Med Svenska Kyrkan Och Piratförlaget 12.00
    09-29 Tid 12.00 - 12.45 Drömmen om Jerusalem Drömmen om Jerusalem realiserades av Jerusalemsfararna från Nås som ville invänta Messias ankomst på plats. Vissa kristna grupper, ibland benämnda kristna sionister, kämpar för staten Israel och för att alla judar ska återföras till Israel – men med egoistiska syften. När alla judar återvänt till det heliga landet kommer Messias tillbaka för att upprätta ett kristet tusenårsrike, tror man. Dessa grupper har starka fästen i USA och anses ha betydande inflytande i amerikansk utrikespolitik. De söker också aktivt etablera sig som maktfaktor i Europa. Kan man verkligen skilja mellan religion och politik i Israel-Palestinakonflikten? Är det de extremreligiösa grupperingarna som gjort en politisk konflikt till en religiös konflikt? Medverkande: Jan Guillou, författare och journalist, Mia Gröndahl, journalist och fotograf, Cecilia Uddén, journalist, Göran Hägglund, partiledare för Kristdemokraterna. Moderator: Göran Gunner, forskare, Svenska kyrkan. I samarb. med Svenska kyrkan och Piratförlaget 09-29 Tid 16.00 - 16.45 Små länder, stora frågor – varför medlar Norge och Sverige? Norge och Sverige har spelat en stor roll vid internationella konflikter. Tryggve Lie och Dag Hammarskjöld verkade som FN:s generalsekreterare. I dagens världspolitik är svenskar och norrmän aktiva i konfliktområden som Östra Timor, Sri Lanka, Colombia och Mellanöstern. Hur kommer det sig att så små nationer som Norge och Sverige fått fram en rad framstående personer inom freds- och konflikthantering? Medverkande: Lena Hjelm-Wallén, tidigare utrikesminister, Kjell-Åke Nordquist, lektor i freds- och konfliktforskning vid Uppsala universitet, Erik Solheim, specialrådgivare till Norska UD. Moderator: Cecilia Uddén, journalist. I samarb. med Svenska kyrkan och Norges ambassad i Stockholm 09-29 Tid 17.00 - 17.45 Vem skriver manus till mitt liv? Film och religion – livsåskådning på vita duken De avgörande föreställningarna för hur det goda livet ser ut formas i vår tid av filmer, TV-serier, varumärken, logotyper och reklambudskap.

  • Le Traitement Médiatique Des Sports D'hiver : Approche Comparée France/Pays Scandinaves
    ÉCOLE DU JOURNALISME Mastère 2 Journalisme Sportif *** LE TRAITEMENT MÉDIATIQUE DES SPORTS D’HIVER : APPROCHE COMPARÉE FRANCE/PAYS SCANDINAVES Mémoire présenté et soutenu par M. Florian Burgaud *** Année universitaire 2019/2020 REMERCIEMENTS Je remercie chaleureusement Christophe Colette qui m’a aiguillé pendant mes recherches. Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui m’ont aidé, de près ou de loin, pour la rédaction de ce mémoire. Un immense merci aux journalistes et aux autres personnes qui ont accepté de répondre à mes questions, à mes interrogations sur le traitement médiatique des sports d’hiver en France et dans les pays scandinaves. Un grand merci, donc, à tous : Nils Christian Mangelrød, Marcus Lindqvist, Viljam Brodahl, Jean-Pierre Bidet, Marc Ventouillac, Franck Lacroix, Sverker Sörlin et Nicolas Mayer. Merci aussi à Arne Idland pour son aide sur le Blink Festival. Merci à tous pour la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Merci, enfin, à l’École Du Journalisme de Nice de m’avoir permis d’écrire ce mémoire sur un sujet s’insérant parfaitement dans mon projet professionnel. 1 RÉSUMÉ Lors de chaque édition des Jeux olympiques d’hiver, les audiences mesurées par Médiamétrie sont incroyablement élevées – jusqu’à 16 millions de personnes en 1992 pour le programme court féminin de patinage artistique. En partant du constat que les Français aiment les sports d’hiver mais qu’ils sont quasiment invisibles dans le paysage médiatique, à part le biathlon depuis quelques années, nous avons réalisé une approche comparée avec le traitement que les médias scandinaves font des sports d’hiver. Là-bas, les fondeurs et les hockeyeurs, notamment, sont de véritables stars traquées par les journalistes et les sports blancs font la une des journaux toute l’année.
