Course Description
This fun session will take a look at popular Swedish organizing topics and break down their history and significance. You've heard of Swedish death cleaning, but do you know how to do it? You love those cubic shelving units from IKEA, but do you know how to pronounce them, or hack them? What does "lagom" mean? Learn the answers to these questions and more with NAPO's very own Swedes, Caroline and Kelly.
