There hasn't been much articles about this Foundation. But The Crown Princess Victoria's Foundation for Scientific Research and Training is funding on 25th August 2016 a symposium 'Listen, understand and learn in time'!; Children with learning at different conditions - Recent research on communication, prevention and intervention.
The purpose of the symposium 'Listen, understand and learn in time' is to present current research on children with language difficulties - if oral and written communication, about what can be done concretely to early identification and intervention for language disorders. During one day speak a number of international and national researchers about what we know today about the new models and practical tools for learning in preschool and school.

In the court's calendar there are program items for Crown Princess Victoria until 10th February. But that does not mean that her scheme will end on that day, according to Margareta Thorgren:
- No, it is a living schedule that is constantly changing. Program items can be taken away, as well as items can be added to the program.
So, Crown Princess Victoria does not go on maternity leave on 10th February?
- No. The Crown Princess will work as far as possible until birth. There are many tasks that the royal family does that are not included in the calendar, says Thorgren.

If I remember well, Victoria was at an event and two days later Estelle was born. I think she will work at the very last minute;)
(I think Maxima did the same right? Was it with Alexia that happened the same?)

Yes, she attended a lunch at the royal castle two days before Estelle was born. I also think she will work as long as she can, but I hope that her schedule is less crowded than before christmas. But when I look at the pictures from the lunch today, its' kind of hard to believe that she has two months left...

Not really. We were only told she is due March which could mean the very start of the month. Royals have also been known to give a slightly later date. She really could have any where from 4-6 weeks left.
 
Victoria attends today at a conference "Agenda 2030 – Sveriges arbete för att nå de globala målen för hållbar utveckling" ("Agenda 2030 - Sweden's efforts to achieve the global goals of sustainable development"). Prime minister Stefan Löfven gives the opening statement and also UN's Deputy Secretary-Genaral Jan Eliasson speaks on a video. The swedish government starts it's work to achieve UN's global goals. Almost 600 people attend at the conference.
Victoria arrived to the conference, here with ministers Isabella Lövin and Ardalan Sherakabi:

Johan T Lindwall writes in Expressen that Victoria arrived early in the morning to the conference "Agenda 2030". Victoria came as usual, accompanied by bodyguards from SÄPO and the heavily pregnant crown princess was in great spirits.
In the court's calendar there are program items for Crown Princess Victoria until 10th February. But that does not mean that her scheme will end on that day, according to Margareta Thorgren:

Swedish newspaper Göteborgs-Posten (GP) got Monday information that United Nations has appointed a group of 16 key people from around the world to advocate for the UN's sustainable development goals. Crown princess Victoria is one of the advocates with high-ranking politicians and world celebrities.
17 global targets were adopted by world leaders at the UN summit in New York last September. Countries should work together to stop poverty, build peace and ensure a dignified life and a prosperous planet for present and future generations. It is thus the tough challenges the elect spokespersons in various ways work with.
Among those selected are:
John Dramani Mahama, Ghana's President
Erna Solberg, the Norwegian Prime Minister
Belgium's Queen Mathilde
Crown Princess Victoria
Shakira Mebarak, artist
Forest Whitaker, Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative
Graça Machel, President of the UNESCO foundation

At the website of the President of Ghana
President John Dramani Mahama and the Prime Minister of Norway, Ms. Erna Solberg, have been appointed Co-Chairs of a group of sixteen (16) eminent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Advocates to support the Secretary-General in his efforts to generate momentum and commitment to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who announced the appointment in New York today said the “16 Advocates will leverage their unique standing and leadership to promote the SDGs as part of an ambitious and transformative global agenda.”

From the website of the government of Sweden:
"It is both an honour and a pleasure for Sweden that Crown Princess Victoria has been chosen for this important role and that she has accepted. This shows that both the Swedish Government and the Swedish Royal Family are deeply engaged in the 2030 Agenda, the action to achieve the Global Goals," says Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.
"Crown Princess Victoria and the other Advocates have a very important role to play, serving both to inspire and press for action. These Global Goals are needed for the countries of the world to work together to stop and prevent conflicts and refugee crises. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without peace, security and respect for human rights. The Global Goals give us fifteen years of opportunities to build a better world," says Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström.

Victoria visits on Monday 25th January, in the morning Viksjö School in Järfälla to take part in the school's peace and democracy work during the ongoing Peace Week.
Victoria attends at Emerich Roth's lecture and school visit. Emerich Roth, 91 years, is a Holocaust survivor and has been appointed as Viksjö school's peace profile. The last 20 years he has lectured at schools to combat hatred, violence and xenophobia. Roth has chosen to make his only school visit in the spring to Viksjö school and lectures on the current situation.
After the lecture Emerich Roth will discuss with Victoria and along with Viksjö school's student ambassadors visit at the exhibition that students have created.
- The cooperation with Emerich Roth and HRH Crown Princess Victoria's visit is of great importance for Viksjö School and we look forward to an atmospheric morning together. It is fantastic that we are able to highlight our peace and democracy work during the Peace Week, says headmaster Johan Nyström Hjertvinge.

Emerich Roth was born in 1924 in Czechoslovakia. During the World War II he was taken to five concentration camps. He survived and moved to Sweden in 1950. He attended with Victoria last January at the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. He has founded the Emerich Foundation that rewards young people’s efforts to improve humanity and tolerance. Roth has got numerous awards, among them The Nelson Mandela Prize and Raoul Wallenberg Prize.

Roth sounds like an amazing man. The kids in the school are lucky to meet him and have a chance to hear from him first hand. I like that Victoria has met him last year the anniversary and is again involved in an event with him. It is so important to promote children learning our history, it is so true, you must learn from the mistakes of the past or be doomed to repeat them. The initiative to encourage kids to learn about the history and work towards promoting tolerance and humanitarianism is so important right now. Happy this is an initiative Vic has put herself behind

Yes, I agree. People like Emerich Roth aren't with us for a long time anymore, so it is very important that as many people as possible can listen to him telling his experiences and what he has learned from them. Roth gave lectures at 13 schools last autumn, but he is getting older and Monday's lecture is the only one he gives in the spring. Victoria has met Emerich Roth many times, photos from some of those meetings:

The reporter of Mitt i Järfälla tells that Victoria, the staff and students listened with great interest on the 91-year-old Emerich Roth's lecture.
After the lecture Victoria and Roth looked with student ambassadors at the exhibition, done by the students. They listened with interest to the students during the guided tour. Victoria asked questions and discussed. She seemed impressed by their work and finished with a "well done", writes reporter Anna Nyberg.
The students were excited about Victoria's commitment during the guided tour.
- It was really nerve-racking. I thought we would show her around and then she would nod, but she discussed and asked questions, says Eighth-grader Parnia Hamdollazadehkive, 14 years.
Emerich Roth is impressed by the students.
- After having visited 1,800 schools, I know we have some amazing young people in this country, he says.

When Victoria last year attended at the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Emerich Roth was with her. Then he asked her sometime to come and listen to one of his lectures and it happened today on Viksjö School in Järfälla.
Just before 9:00 in the morning the crown princess came in the company of bodyguards.
Emerich Roth began his address by noting:
- I am very happy and grateful that the Crown Princess is here today. It means so much. Now I will tell you my story.
Then the crown princess got for a over an hour to hear about how Emerich Roth managed to cheat death again and again during World War II and to survive from the Holocaust:
- We all have to bring this story further and not forget. Never forget, said Emerich Roth.
On the front row inside the school auditorium nodded a touched crown princess Victoria.

About Emerich Roth's life
Emerich was 19, when he and his family were taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943. People were put to two rows: men to the other and women to the other. Emerich and his father were in one row, his mother and younger sisters Edit, 17, Elisabeth, 15, Magdalena, 12 and Judith, 10 at the other row. They walked in front of doctor Mengele. He showed with his hand who should live, and who should die. Emerich and his father got to go to the left - to the work camp, and Edit and Elisabeth too. Their mother and the two youngest sisters were put to the right, straight to the gas chamber. Emerich was 14 months at five different concentration camps. When the liberation came, 8th may 1945, he was in Theresienstadt. His father had been shot two months earlier, and about the same time Edit died at another camp. Only Emerich and his sister Elisabeth survived, the rest of the family together with 40 relatives, died at the Holocaust. Emerich got into a hospital, he was 175 cm tall and weighed 34 kilos. After over four years at a hospital he came to Sweden, were his sister Elisabeth was living. He and his sister didn't talk about what had happened, it was too difficult. Until summer 1992, when Roth was walking in Stockholm and heard men scream "Sieg Heil!" And nobody cared or reacted. And then Roth knew that he had to do something and started The Association of Holocaust Survivors in Sweden.

Johan T Lindwall's report/Expressen's video from yesterday, with a warning about strong photos - Emerich Roth has a film about Holocaust with him at his lecture.
Victoria: "Of course one gets very touched. That is the intention. This must not be forgotten. That he has been here today, despite of his age, despite that it is tough to speak about these things, it is so incredibly precious. And important for all of us. And the film which was shown today about his history, it is what we have left for the future. The students and others should be able to understand, try to understand all that dreadful which has happened, to be able to have these memories alive". Lindwall asks about Victoria's visit to Auschwitz and Victoria says: "It is exceedingly tough but really important".
Lindwall says to Roth that Victoria was touched about what Roth told and she had said that we all must help that this is not forgotten. Roth says: "That is the most important thing, that gives me still motivation and strength to continue as long as I can. What we who have survived from Holocaust tell, that isn't much written at the history books or schoolbooks".

It speaks highly of how the queen/future queen of Belgium an Sweden are viewed. Great honor to both.


Great pics of the event today. It seems that Victoria made an impression on Emerich last year, that he asked her to come again and hear him speak. I wish I saw this kind of event more in Canada, it is so important. The younger generation needs to understand fully about those times. I regret I never got to learn first hand from my grandfathers. One died when I was 3. The other when he returned from war never spoke of it again (except to 1 son in law). We found out when he died, and the military sent someone to speak, that he was in the devil's brigade, something no one realized (we thought he was infantry). My grandmother though did tell me stories of living in London during the air raids. She left the safety of the north with 2 sisters. Her sisters were nurses, she wasn't so she volunteered to hand ammunition to the anti-aircraft gunners so she was literally in the middle of the London air raids.

EDIT: Johan T Lindwall publishes today 27th January, on the Holocaust Memorial Day, still an article about Victoria at Emerich Roth's lecture.
- You become naturally very shaken after having heard Emerich tell about in what he and his family were involved, the Crown Princess says after the lecture.
Emerich Roth is grateful that the Crown Princess was with him last year at Auschwitz:
- It was extremely important that the Crown Princess was with the visit and I am grateful that she committed herself. During the trip we talked about that one day she too would come to one of my lectures in Sweden. That the crown princess has now been with me is an honor and I'm delighted that she has taken the time. We all have a great responsibility to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. We must never forget. Never ever, Emerich Roth says.
In the film, Emerich Roth tells about the piles of corpses in the concentration camp, how the Nazis shot and killed his camp mates and the death march when he finally lost his father.
- We should be grateful that Emerich despite his age travels around and talks about this. Something that obviously is tough to talk about. What has happened is tough for all of us to talk about. Incredibly important and valuable for us all to take up and talk about, says Crown Princess Victoria.
Crown Princess Victoria believes that everyone has a responsibility:
- We can talk about it. For example, at the kitchen table. You have to look around in the society we live in today, and live as well as possible.
There are a number of things that Victoria points out that anyone can do:
- That we are standing up against violence. Against bullying. Against hatred simply.
Then she concludes:
- Dare to show love and compassion, to stand up for human rights. And above all, to show each other respect.

Victoria delivers at 15.00 Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in the memory of Holocaust's scholarships at the Royal Opera.
Micael Bindefeld, well-known and respected organizer of professional events, founded in 2014 his Foundation in order to support those who have a desire to communicate, provide information on, photo insert, or otherwise disseminate knowledge to a wide Swedish audience with stories of the Holocaust. Bindefeld donated five million SEK to the foundation and told at the interviews that he will donate the most part of his fortune to the Foundation in his will. Many of Bindefeld’s relatives were executed at Holocaust. Daniel delivered the first scholarships last year.
The 2016 scholarship is awarded to the association Zikaron. Zikaron is a nonprofit organization that provides schools free lectures about the Holocaust by the Jewish youth of 18-30 years old. The lecturers take their ancestors' history and pass them on through personal and informative lectures. The association was founded by childhood friends Adina Krantz and Nadine Gerson both of which are third generation survivors. The scholarship allows the association's founders make true of their dream of an organization that provides third generation survivors the opportunity to bring the memory of the Holocaust on to schoolchildren across the country. We must never forget! Adina Krantz and Nadine Gerson get altogether SEK 300 000.

Micael Bindefeld to Expressen: To keep the memory of the Holocaust alive is not a jewish issue. The attendance of the royal family, parliament and government shows that the whole Sweden is engaged in what kind of society we want and want to live in.

One of your Grandfathers was one of The Devil's Brigade!?! Wow!! What those men did and experienced deserves our greatest of respect and honour. I thank God every day my Dad made sure I know about both our Military History as a Nation and as a Family, not to mention all he could teach me about Canadian History period because he knew that wouldn't be happening at School sadly.

About Emerich Roth's life
Emerich was 19, when he and his family were taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943. People were put to two rows: men to the other and women to the other. Emerich and his father were in one row, his mother and younger sisters Edit, 17, Elisabeth, 15, Magdalena, 12 and Judith, 10 at the other row. They walked in front of doctor Mengele. He showed with his hand who should live, and who should die. Emerich and his father got to go to the left - to the work camp, and Edit and Elisabeth too. Their mother and the two youngest sisters were put to the right, straight to the gas chamber. Emerich was 14 months at five different concentration camps. When the liberation came, 8th may 1945, he was in Theresienstadt. His father had been shot two months earlier, and about the same time Edit died at another camp. Only Emerich and his sister Elisabeth survived, the rest of the family together with 40 relatives, died at the Holocaust. Emerich got into a hospital, he was 175 cm tall and weighed 34 kilos. After over four years at a hospital he came to Sweden, were his sister Elisabeth was living. He and his sister didn't talk about what had happened, it was too difficult. Until summer 1992, when Roth was walking in Stockholm and heard men scream "Sieg Heil!" And nobody cared or reacted. And then Roth knew that he had to do something and started The Association of Holocaust Survivors in Sweden.

Thank you for telling us about this remarkable man. While I loathe and despise what happened for Mr. Roth to realize what he had to do, I have the greatest of respect for all Holocaust Survivors, but especially for those such as Mr. Roth. Knowing what they all went through, I can't blame any for wanting to try and forget. We toss around the expression I've been through Hell and back w/out truly thinking about it all the time. These people though? These incredible people truly did go through Hell and back and for them to relive all of it over and over and over again....It just humbles me to my very core and God Bless Them for having the Courage to relive it over and over and over.

It is heart-warming to see the photos of Victoria and Roth, when Victoria was leaving.

Very heart warming. You do have to wonder though...Who is the Charmer and who is the Charmed in those pictures? :). The affection both have for each other literally beams out from them.

Johan T Lindwall's report/Expressen's video from yesterday, with a warning about strong photos - Emerich Roth has a film about Holocaust with him at his lecture.
Victoria: "Of course one gets very touched. That is the intention. This must not be forgotten. That he has been here today, despite of his age, despite that it is tough to speak about these things, it is so incredibly precious. And important for all of us. And the film which was shown today about his history, it is what we have left for the future. The students and others should be able to understand, try to understand all that dreadful which has happened, to be able to have these memories alive". Lindwall asks about Victoria's visit to Auschwitz and Victoria says: "It is exceedingly tough but really important".
Lindwall says to Roth that Victoria was touched about what Roth told and she had said that we all must help that this is not forgotten. Roth says: "That is the most important thing, that gives me still motivation and strength to continue as long as I can. What we who have survived from Holocaust tell, that isn't much written at the history books or schoolbooks".

Perfectly said. We must never forget what happened, we must also pledge to keep telling what happened, otherwise it will be forgotten.

Victoria's, and the entire Royal Family's for that matter, commitment to keep the Memories alive by taking part in or becoming Patrons to those Organizations is so beyond important, there are no words to properly express it.

May we all take a moment today/tonight on this Holocaust Remembrance Day to stop and pray for all of the Victims and we will remember, so it may never happen again.

Victoria visited this afternoon The Stockholm Environment Institute. SEI was formally established in 1989 by the Swedish Government and it is an independent international research institute. Due to Victoria's work as UN’s advocate for the new Sustainable Development Goals she meets people who work with the environment and that kind of things.
Svensk Damtidning was at the place when Victoria arrived to the Institute.
How does it feel to be here today?
- Exciting! And lots of fun. It shall be enjoyable to get the time to sit down and talk, Victoria said.
