Well done to the stranger in Hagaparken, Stockholm last week!
Just a willingness to listen, sometimes that’s all it takes. Maybe what we need more everyday acts of kindness, spaces to be seen, heard, and valued.

Diamani Salihu’s and Uppdrag Gransknings - En gång bröder, shows what happens when we react too late. Prevention is protection. But systems wait for explosions, not erosion.
By the time we act, the damage is done.
The real tragedy? Not just the loss—but the lost potential.
Tackar!

Where do we meet—beneath the noise, beyond belief?
Spaces for meaningful dialogue shape who we become.
At @harvardeducation.bsky.social HGSE with actor @PennBadgley, Nura Mowzoon, Nobel Laureate Torsten Wiesel, & myself.
With our audience, we went through questions of ideology, identity, and unity.
If we’re the happiest country 8 years in a row, what for, if not to share that joy? True happiness grows when shared. From Åland’s Peace Ambassadors to Finland- the land of a thousand lakes and a thousand acts of kindness a whole of society effort.

At NUORI25 tomorrow, I'll join a panel hosted by the Nordic Council of Ministers. We'll discuss how the Nordics aim to be the best place for children and young people, yet many face gang violence, school shootings, and segregation in a highly digitalised world.

Power lies in our conversations and how we speak to each other. Constructive dialogue is the cornerstone of democracy, especially when tackling existential questions like war, climate change, and other issues close to heart.
