Hi Olof,
congratulations for your inspiring initiative. I just checked out your website and it looks really exciting!
I have just been to an amazing initiative forum in Järna, Sweden which was held in a really beautiful place in Ytterjärna. They have a big cultural centre for events, there is a school, a cafe, a hospital and a youth initiative program (they organised the initiative forum I went to) and it is all based on sustainable principles. There are a lot of really great people working there who you could get in contact with and Im sure they could help you find someone or even participate themselves.

Here is the link to the Youth Initiative Forum http://www.yip.se/home/
The pages for the whole place are all only available in Swedish but the people from YIP will be able to send you more info in English :-)

Good luck with it!

Hey Sarah, thanks so much.

Looks like a great place! I guess it is not in a city though? I am focusing on sustainable city living... but I will definitely get in touch with them to find out more! thanks!

Hi Olof,

how is your project going? Did you manage to find any more people? 

It sounds like such a great project and I would love to hear how it is developing. Maybe you could post some info or links to the newest projects on SPREAD.

Hope its all going well

:-)

Hey Sarah, thanks for the interest! We decided to go this July only to Oslo and Stockholm, so we won't make it to Ytterjärna.  Still planning who to interview there...

The project will have its 1 year anniversary in August, and I'm hoping to have it more interactive by then, and looking forward to that.

Will try to be more active participating in the discussions here on this platform!!!

Enjoy the sunny day

Olof
