Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Studiecirkel' (study circle) is huge. Anyone can start one and 'hålla i' the meetings. Similar to Sweden, 'Arbis' (Arbetarinstitutet) is a place where many people 'håller kurser' in various crafts. Flat hierarchy means even a junior employee might 'hålla en kurs' for senior management if they have a specific skill. Sweden is highly digitized; 'hålla en kurs' often implies it's happening on Teams or Zoom.
