A toast to all who received their degrees from the faculty!<\/p><\/div>\n
Livet \u00f6ppnar sig s\u00e4llan s\u00e5 som man t\u00e4nker sig. Nu \u00e4r det m\u00e5nga som menar att os\u00e4kerhetsfaktorerna \u00e4r mera p\u00e5tagliga. Ekologin har tydligt visat sk\u00f6rheten i v\u00e5ra livsf\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar. Pandemin har visat s\u00e5rbarheten i v\u00e5ra samh\u00e4llen. Och ett \u00f6kat ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4ttande av allas lika v\u00e4rde och r\u00e4ttigheter har pekat p\u00e5 en sviktade v\u00e4rdegrund.<\/p>\n
Hur hittar vi en h\u00e5llbar v\u00e4g fram? Ni som f\u00e5r examen nu kommer s\u00e4kert att f\u00f6ljas av den fr\u00e5gan p\u00e5 er v\u00e4g och jag hoppas att ni under er tid vid fakulteten f\u00e5tt n\u00e5gra pusselbitar till var och hur man kan b\u00f6rja s\u00f6ka svar. Jag hoppas ocks\u00e5 att ni bevarar kontakten till fakulteten och s\u00e5 att ni fram\u00f6ver kan bidra till att vi forts\u00e4tter att utvecklas – och till att vi g\u00f6r det p\u00e5 r\u00e4tt s\u00e4tt.<\/p>\n
Allt ser inte ut att kunna \u00e5terg\u00e5 till det helt normala h\u00e4r vid fakulteten n\u00e4r den nya terminen b\u00f6rjar i h\u00f6st. Jag hoppas \u00e4nd\u00e5 att ni, som \u00e4nnu inte \u00e4r klara med era studier h\u00e4r vid fakulteten\u00a0utan \u00e5terv\u00e4nder i h\u00f6st, inte k\u00e4nner er uppgivna. Jag \u00f6nskar att ni kan v\u00e4cka till liv den trotsighet och envishet som kr\u00e4vs f\u00f6r att g\u00e5 in i studierna med \u00e4nnu mera allvar, och att ni nu ser ett \u00e4nnu st\u00f6rre v\u00e4rde i att bygga vidare p\u00e5 er kompetens.<\/p>\n
Livet har varit p\u00e5 undantag men vi kan inte l\u00e5ta det forts\u00e4tta s\u00e5. Det \u00e4r vi som m\u00e5ste hitta svar och v\u00e4gar vidare. Kunskap och bildning \u00e4r trumfkort f\u00f6r framtiden.<\/p>\n

The first degree certificate from our Master’s Degree Programme in Social Exclusion<\/p><\/div>\n
Did life fall by the wayside? <\/strong><\/p>\n I do not think so. The faculty continues to develop in order to be able to equip students with knowledge and skills of relevance in today’s world. This spring also brought about something new at our faculty. The first students have graduated from our Master\u2019s Degree Programme in Social Exclusion<\/a>. I would like to congratulate you and wish you all the best. Your competence and knowledge will be needed. In the contemporary world processes of social exclusion are vehicles through which\u00a0people are stigmatized or discriminated against. In short, from\u00a0social exclusion follows that\u00a0the world deprived of one of its most essential resources, namely humanity. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a> has made it even more important for the faculty to focus on how we can contribute to transforming our world. The \u00c5bo Akademi University Strategy <\/a>also pushes us in the same direction.<\/p>\n Teachers, researchers, and admin staff are in a key position for how the faculty develops in the future. This spring you have done an enormous job to take us where we are now and I want to end with some words to you.<\/p>\n Despite the challenging situation, you made it possible for students to finish courses, to get grades and recieve degrees, and many of you were pushed beyond your comfort zones and had to learn new things. More importantly, during this situation your work has shown how much you believe in knowledge and education, in what we do in the faculty. This has made an impact on all of us beyond what can be measured. Thank you!<\/p>\n I wish you all a relaxing and refreshing summer. I look forward to meeting many of you again at campus when the autumn term starts. And again \u2013 to those of you who received your degrees and move on in life I send my best wishes.<\/p>\n Do not let life in any form fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n Peter Nyn\u00e4s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (some words in english below) Mycket har blivit satt p\u00e5 undantag de senaste m\u00e5naderna. \u00c4ven om vi alla – studerande och personal vid fakulteten – varit tvungna till distans s\u00e5 har vi ocks\u00e5 suttit i samma b\u00e5t.
