Prince Daniel of Sweden has been involved in both children’s health and strengthening the Swedish business community. In recent days, he’s placed an emphasis on both.
First, the Swedish prince started with a meeting with the Allbright Foundation, which works for gender equality and diversity in leading positions.
The Allbright Foundation trains and supports business leaders and employees with the aim of recruiting on meritocratic grounds. They also continuously map the business community’s management groups and boards to shed light on the issue of representation.
Following that meeting, on December 9th 2021, Prince Daniel sent a greeting to a digital seminar organized by the organization A Healthy Generation. Prince Daniel is the patron of the organisation that works to ensure that all children are given the same conditions to grow up in good health. This is done, among other things, by offering free health-promoting family activities, twice a week on at least 70 occasions, during a school year. The organization’s method has for several years been evaluated by a group of researchers at Karolinska Institute. At the seminar, the group presented the results of the study.
In his digital greeting Prince Daniel said: “That all children should have the same opportunity for good health, it may sound obvious. But unfortunately we know that this is not the case. That is why I have chosen to get involved in the health of children and young people. Among other things, by being a protector of A Healthy Generation. When the initiative for A Healthy Generation was taken ten years ago, evaluation was a big question: How do we know that what we do has the desired effect? Is it possible to measure the effect of health-promoting work on children and parents? We know what we are doing – but we also need to know what difference it makes”.
