Daniel was interviewed this morning at Swedish Ski Association's "All young people on Snow" -day at Hammarbybacken for News morning at TV4. Daniel said that this initiative that children can try winter sports for free is very important. It is fun to move together and do sports activities together. It is physical and children of this age should move one hour a day. It's great to be outdoors on a day like this. The reporter asked that all parents don't have money to pay their children's skiing. Daniel says that you can go sledding and dig huts, exercise and be outdoors, get joy totally for free. It is important that the kids get to know different kind of sports, it doesn't have to be ski sport.
The reporter asks how good Daniel is at slalom, Daniel says that he doesn't want to say anything about that, the reporter can judge herself. But he has done quite much slalom skiing. Estelle is outdoors a lot and Daniel thinks that is important.

Daniel said to Expressen's Johan T Lindwall that this is the first time that he is at Hammarbybacken. Before his first run he said that the slope looked icy. After his second run Daniel said that it is a little odd that he hasn't been at Hammarbybacken before. But this wasn't the last time, the slope was good.

Johan T Lindwall in Expressen:
Hammarbybacken. Check out who is king of the hill: Prince Daniel, of course. But he wants to tone down his ski skills:
- You'll understand after all who is the best in the family. She is by far better than I, he says, referring to his wife Victoria.
Prince Daniel has in recent years become increasingly "Sport Prince" and obviously he would attend to this day, which wants to get all fourth graders to try to ski.
Early in the morning Prince Daniel came to Hammarbybacken in Stockholm and direct shrank his back a little when he saw the hill:
- Wow, it's so steep. Just hope I manage to stand on skis all the way down, he laughed.
Daniel is an experienced skier. In Ockelbo he began to go downhill skiing already as four years old - thanks to mom and dad.
- They worked extra for Friluftsfrämjandet (Swedish Outdoor Association) which ran Rönnåsen hill in Ockelbo. My parents were engaged there and put up a couple of weekends every winter to make it work. It was important that everyone got involved.
As Daniel grew up, he had a nearly twelve-year-long break from downhill skiing, but at last ten years there has been at least a few ski trips each year.
- I think it's a fun way to move on, and it's great to get out into nature in this way.
Yes, the prince behaved extremely well on the slopes and helped the children when they had fallen. He also had a helmet, as usual.
- But it was also close for me too at one point. Did you see when I nearly fell there on the mountains? he told me a secret.
Princess Estelle started last season to ski and Daniel thinks she - like her mother - can become proficient and notes:
- First season for Estelle was mixed, as it can be for a two year old to ski.
Who is the best in the family? The answer is undoubtedly his wife Victoria. To the question who in the entire royal family he hesitated to answer:
- Chris?
Daniel laughed:
- Well, I do not know. I have not seen him ski so much. So I can not judge it.
The king, then?
- It's probably equally between them. They are equally skilled.

Aftonbladet has a good video of Daniel skiing (great music), Daniel is also interviewed.
http://tv.aftonbladet.se/webbtv/nyheter/kungligt/article63276.ab

To Aftonbladet Daniel told that Estelle skis straight ahead and has just learned to use button lift. Daniel said that the day is important, there are children who never get to try. And this is an opportunity for anyone who does not have parents who go, to try ski slalom.

Besides skiing, Daniel met representatives from Swedish Ski Association, Hammarbybacken, Friluftsfrämjandet (Swedish Outdoor Association) and Djurgården IF Alpine to discuss about the project.

The children were excited about skiing and everything when the day started. Then they started to wonder, why there was so many photographers and reporters? And who was that who came out from the black car? Soon somebody said: That is prince Daniel!
It was a day many will never forget. The prince was not slow to pay attention to the children. And he got on like a duck to water. There were many happy children who received memorable lift rides or an unexpected ski buddy to go with. It was clearly seen when the prince came whizzing down the hill with hordes of children around the legs (he appeared to otherwise be a very good skier). Daniel got a "Alla på snö" -coat to give to Estelle.

Wonderful Event. Nice to see Daniel on the ski slopes
 
You know, so many around here talk about Kate or Sophie or Harry and their rapport w/children, but I've always thought Daniel should be in that group too. Yesterday proved that in a very big way. :)

BTW...I have noticed on the Alpine side of things over the years, that while Sweden is very strong in the Salomn events on the World Cup and at the Winter Olympics/World Championships, it's not the case in the speed events like the Downhill, Super Giant Slaomn, etc... Why is that? I've always wondered, as I can't think of any of the other Countries who are at or near the top in Alpine Skiing, that dominates in the one discipline and only the one as Sweden does in Salomn.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might know the answer. :)

In 2007 Anja Pärson became the first skier ever to win World Championship gold in all five disciplines. We have certainly had some great skiers.
 
Daniel delivers on Tuesday Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in the memory of Holocaust's first scholarships to two separate projects. The first scholarship goes to photographer Örjan Henriksson to the photo exhibition "KZ Auschwitz I-II". The second scholarship is awarded to actor Sara Sommerfeld and producer Johan Romin to the production of the documentary film "My grandmother and the Holocaust". The total sum of the scholarships is 300000 SEK.
Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in memory of the Holocaust was founded in 2014 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.
Prime minister Stefan Löfven attends at the event at the Theatre Galeasen.

Bindefeld says to Aftonbladet:
"No one goes away from Auschwitz unaffected. I felt that I really wanted to get involved. Eventually the idea of a foundation came. I have no children of my own, instead this will be something I can leave behind".

Bindefeld to Expressen:
- I had thought for a long time that I wanted to engage me. I was born in a jewish family and have always been aware of my family and my people's history. There was no sudden awakening, but when my father became ill and passed away three years ago I started to think much more about what my family went through during the Holocaust. That, combined with that I have a position in society and a fortune that I can make sense of. The day I do not live anymore will the lion's share of my money to go to the foundation, says Michael Bindefeld, 55, who began by donating five million SEK to the foundation.
Bindefeld's paternal grandparents moved from Germany to Sweden in 1932. His grandfather had nine siblings. Three of the ten siblings survived from the Holocaust.
- I know exactly on which camp my relatives were and the month when they were executed, says Bindefeld.

After the ceremony Daniel and other guests went to see a play "Vår klass" (Our class), written by the Polish writer Tadeusz Slobodsianek. It depicts a school class in the small Polish village of Jedwabne - consisting of both Catholics and Jews - from the early 1930s to the present. On July 10, 1941 reached the culmination of anti-Jewish pogroms in which one half of the village population murdered the other.

Daniel has had yesterday and today meetings with Prince Daniel Fellowship entrepreneurship program. Yesterday the steering group of the program had a meeting. Today Daniel attended at a meeting with mentors and mentees of the program. No photos at the court website yet of these meetings.

Prince Daniel Fellowship heads towards new goals
14 secondary schools, 13 colleges and universities, many hundreds of pupils and students and a bunch of super enthusiastic entrepreneurs. All these have contributed to that the The Royal Academy of Engineering Science's (IVA) and Prince Daniel's joint Prince Daniel's Fellowship and Entrepreneurship Program has become a success story. Now, the project goes towards new goals, and new captain of the ship is Marcus Wallenberg.
First round of the mentoring program is completed during spring and it is time to evaluate the work, begin recruiting new mentees and mentors. Visits to new high schools and colleges / universities are scheduled throughout the year and Prince Daniel Entrepreneurship Day will be in November with the idea that young entrepreneurs should get together and exchange ideas. Current chairman Lena Torell Trechow has been involved since the project was initiated by Prince Daniel. She now handing over the gavel to Marcus Wallenberg.
Prince Daniel's Fellowship will this year to visit Södertörn, Jönköping, Östersund, Karlstad, Uppsala and Kalmar to inspire students for entrepreneurship. Prince Daniel and the project will during the year reach out to more young, potential future super contractors with the important message "dare to invest, dare to fail."

Daniel met on Wednesday secretary general Birgitta Ljung, chairman Karin Mattsson Weijber, and director of communication Max Lauritzson from the Swedish Sports Confederation. I think they discussed about the third Prince Daniel's Race and Sports Day in September.

Today Daniel attended at the Industry Day in Södertälje. He also delivered the industry's gender equality prize. Also prime minister Stefan Löfven and the ambassadors from USA and Germany attended.

On Monday afternoon Daniel had a meeting with Dr. Kristian Neovius, professor Mai-Lis Hellenius and Head of Operations Anja Nordenfelt from the Foundation En Frisk Generation (A Healthy Generation). Daniel is the foundation's patron. During the meeting, Daniel got information about health economics and child and adolescent obesity. Obesity in children is according to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of the greatest public health challenges. The Foundation En Frisk Generation was founded on the idea that good eating habits and physical activity are essential for good health.

Local newspaper Mitti interviewed Daniel last week when he visited Tumba school in Botkyrka. Mitti writes that many wanted to take selfies with Daniel and although he had tight schedule, he had time for selfies. The reporter suggests that Daniel should perhaps have a special time booked for selfies and Daniel said that perhaps he should. Daniel said that he brought talented entrepreneurs and good role models with him and they want to give students the inspiration and answer to all their questions about entrepreneurship.
The reporter said that Daniel has visited Botkyrka three times in a short time, so he would like to make a quiz for Daniel about Botkyrka. That will be lousy, Daniel laughed, but answered to the questions and got four out of five right. The reporter thinks that it is not bad at all for a man from Ockelbo.
