Mikael Blomberg – Part of life – but not the whole story. A lecture that touches, enriches and saves lives.

How much of a difference can an adult make? Sometimes the answer is: the difference between life and death. In the strong and celebrated lecture - "Part of life - but not the whole story", you meet 16-year-old Micke Blomberg and his former teacher Jenny Bergström. Micke grew up with parents in addiction. In grade 7, he suffered a deep depression and planned to take his own life. Four days before it was supposed to happen, something decisive happened – a teacher chose to actually see him. That teacher was Jenny. Together they tell a true story about beeing a dandelion child, to wear what no one sees, to dare to ask when it is difficult and that the presence of adults can change everything. At the same time, Jenny shares concrete tools and approaches for how school staff, parents and other important adults can act when a child is not feeling well. The lecture gives both heart and action.
