When in Europe don't miss Skurup
At the Skurup Information Centre, we sell T-shirts sporting the logo "When in Europe don’t miss Skurup". The slogan was invented in 1967 by Bengt Englund, who was a teacher at Skurups folkhögskola, the independent adult education college of Skurup. It is not our official municipal slogan, but we like to use it.
Did you know…
- The slogan was first used by the local handball team Skurups Handboll.
- We always give out free stickers at the Skurup Information Centre and at events.
- At present, the biggest sign can be found at the Skurups Sparbank Arena.
- Skurup’s unofficial slogan has travelled across the world. You are welcome to join this journey and share your stories! (Link to Facebook)
