Briefly about the Alumni of the Year
Elin Fluur
Elin has a strong commitment to gender equality and justice issues, and combines an innovative approach with a strong commitment to the local.

A concrete example is the establishment of an annual gender equality prize in the municipality with the aim of drawing attention to and rewarding work that contributes to a more equal society.
