Storm in Residence

Have you heard about the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts? We have one at Malmö University. It is a bit hidden behind three locked doors at Orkanen, in a corridor next to a storage room for sports equipment. But don’t let the exterior deceive you. Behind the doors, a world of possibilities unfolds. In the room, you can feel, think, see, and act without demands and without seeking the room’s permission. The more you dare, the more you experiment, the more opportunities the room unfolds. Here, you are welcome as you are, and in the room, we are all equal.

But why does the Room of Requirement exist? It’s simple. We live in a changing world. We need to develop our ability to handle our increasingly complex environment and the challenges society faces, and we need to do it in new ways. But new ways don’t emerge in a vacuum. They arise in the opportunity to explore, create, and test together. That’s why the Room of Requirement exists. At Malmö University, it’s called Storm.
