Grimeton Academy

Become a communications agent in the service of peace

The year is 1942. The radio station’s mission is more important than ever – to maintain contact with the outside world in a time of uncertainty. In a world where misunderstandings can create walls, people are needed who can build bridges. Station manager Hans Palmqvist has therefore launched a training program to strengthen the station’s communicative resilience – an education in courage, logic and cooperation.

As a volunteer communications agent, you undergo basic training where you learn to:

• Interpret signals and understand how radio waves connect people
• Solve tricky challenges
• Recreate important messages that risk being lost

In the special training, you face even greater challenges – do you have what it takes to create contact in a fractured world?

When you have completed the entire mission, you will receive a diploma as proof of your ability to communicate for peace. A skill the world always needs.

About the training program:

The training program consists of 5 missions, divided into two levels:
Basic training (included in admission)
– Interception, The Examination and The Sabotage
Special training (ticket required)
– Exercise Falcon Eye and Summer Camp

All activities are based on the World Heritage Site Grimeton’s historical role as a place where technology was used to maintain contact between people across borders – even in times of unrest. Today we inspire children and young people to use the same technology and curiosity to build a more peaceful future.

Practical information

At the visitor center, you receive a mission folder containing the basic training when you purchase admission or show your pre-purchased ticket. When your training is completed, each mission is checked off and you get a photo as proof that you are now part of Grimeton Academy. Exercise Eagle Eye is an additional activity and requires a separate ticket.
