context_page_description: The Almedalen Week is an annual event taking place in week 27 in and around Almedalen, a park in the city of Visby on the Swedish island Gotland.
  With speeches, seminars and other political activities, it is considered to be the most important forum in Swedish politics. During the week, representatives from the major political parties in Sweden take turns to make speeches in Almedalen.
  It has inspired similar events to be held in other countries, like Suomi-Areena in Finland, Arendalsveckan in Norway, Arvamusfestival in Estonia and Folkemødet at the island of Bornholm in Denmark.
context_section_description: With the increasing numbers of activities it has become more difficult for the individual participants to get noticed by spectators and the media. This has resulted in a number of spectacular actions during the years. In 2010, the spokesperson for the Feminist Initiative, Gudrun Schyman, burned SEK 100,000 during a speech about the inequality in wages for men and women. In 2005, actress Kim Anderzon, artist Ernst Billgren, musician Olle Ljungström, among others, declared that a new party, the Kulturpartiet (the Cultural Party), had been created and that they were candidates for the Riksdag.
  It was later declared that the party had been an elaborate hoax created by the Riksteatern to raise awareness for cultural issues.
