The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences about the seminar:

Isabella Löwengrip, one of Prince Daniel's Fellowship's inspirers, writes at her blog:
Incredibly interesting talk and fun morning!
It was nice to meet Prince Daniel again. I have done some work with the Prince Daniel's Fellowship, which deals with mentoring and inspiring young people to start businesses. Prince Daniel, myself and Martin Lorentzon (Spotify) visited schools together to cheer on students! Being able to inspire others to run a business is a matter of my heart.

A great gallery from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences:

Great to have photos from the Academy, it's a pity that the photo agencies don't follow Daniel on these trips very much.

The Royal Court about Daniel's visit to Dalarna on November 28-29:
 
Daniel delivered today at the Grand Hôtel the Golden Gavel awards (Guldklubban) to Marcus Wallenberg, SAAB, in the class for stock exchange listed companies and Lena Olving, Nodica Group, in the class for non-listed companies.

Daniel gave a great speech at the Gala, when he presented the Swedish movie year 2024. Shima Niavarani, the host of the Gala, presented Daniel as "The Clark Kent of the Royal Family".

Daniel said among other things:
"Yes, we've all experienced that moment when the movie is over, the music starts playing, the credits start rolling and it's a bit hard to get up. The curtain closes, the lights in the hall come on. A little reluctantly, we go out with the others, into so-called reality, perhaps squinting at an unwelcome sun. We are no longer the same people spiritually. Something inside us has changed forever."

Aftonbladet:
Biggest winner: HRH Prince Daniel! You didn't see that coming. His passionate speech in praise of filmmaking felt more honest than anything any Minister of Culture has said in years.

Part of Daniel's speech:

The press manager for the Guldbagge Gala, Jan Göransson said before the gala that it's the first time in ages that a member of the royal family attends the gala, and they are really happy about it. All the royals are of course always invited – but that they've probably been too busy in recent years.

You can watch Daniel's speech here, starting at 16.23:

The Royal Court at its website:

Daniel gets praise of his speech at the Guldbagge Gala:
Björn Wiman: Who would have thought that the gym owner from Ockelbo was a cultural prince?
Rhetorically, the royal family has a low benchmark, as they say in management Swedish. But Prince Daniel's eulogy to the art of cinema was unusually vivid.

Eva Melander was not the only winner at the Guldbagge Gala. The day after this year's film festival, it is Ockelbo Prince Daniel who is being praised the most.


Prince Daniel gave an incredibly beautiful speech that emphasized the role of film in Sweden's culture and identity - a speech that moved many in the audience.
 
Great description of what it's like after seeing a movie, play or musical that makes such an impression on you!

Daniel delivered this afternoon the scholarship of the Micael Bindefeld´s Foundation in Memory of the Holocaust to conductor Sofia Winiarski at Dramaten, The Royal Dramatic Theatre. This was the tenth consecutive year the scholarship is awarded.

The scholarship from the Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in Memory of the Holocaust 2025 goes to Sofia Winiarski and the musical ensemble Stulen Musik. SEK 700,000 is donated to the concert project Stulen Musik, which is a concert about the Nazis' attempt to wipe out Jewish musical culture.
The motivation reads:
"Sofia Winiarski's groundbreaking project Stolen Music revives parts of the Jewish music that was stolen, banned and silenced during the Nazi regime. With absolute hearing, respect and artistic curiosity, Sofia builds a stage performance and shapes a unique artistic expression. The project brings justice to music that was silenced, a reminder of how the Holocaust took hold of every part of Jewish life. Sofia Winiarski pushes the boundaries of our culture of remembrance and thus does not only honor the memory of the stolen music. She brings it to life."
The Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in Memory of the Holocaust awards a scholarship every year with the aim of supporting those who have a desire to communicate, inform, image or otherwise convey knowledge about the Holocaust to a broad Swedish audience.

The theatre had large barriers, the police had set up riot fences and put up an iron ring around the entrance to the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Many Swedish ministers and the Israeli ambassador attended the ceremony too.

Here is the right link to the Svensk Damtidning article:

In the evening Daniel attended a memorial service for Holocaust victims at the Great Synagogue in Stockholm.

The Royal Court tells about Daniel at the scholarship award ceremony and at the Great Synagogue:
At the scholarship awardceremony Daniel held a speech, where he said among other things:
"The heavy work of remembrance that has become your burden now becomes our duty. We shall not forget."
The ceremony at the Great Synagogue concluded with Daniel laying a stone at the memorial monument, which is located next to the synagogue and was inaugurated by the King in 1998.
In Jewish tradition, it is customary to lay stones, which, unlike flowers, are eternal. The stone that Daniel laid had been picked by Estelle and Oscar at Haga Palace.

Video, Daniel arrives to the Great Synagogue at 6.48. And at 9.42 we see Daniel at the scholarship award ceremony of the Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in Memory of the Holocaust.


Micael Bindefeld at his Instagram:
"Grateful and proud that HRH Prince Daniel wanted to honor my foundation with his presence and award the tenth scholarship at @dramaten"

The Jewish Community of Stockholm at its Instagram:

Micael Bindefeld posted still from the Scholarship award ceremony of his Foundation in Memory of the Holocaust:
"HRH Prince Daniel takes his seat next to some of the few Holocaust survivors who are still able and willing to participate in the ceremony that my foundation arranges every year! The Prince's sincere and deep commitment permeated the entire ceremony!"
