I spoke on @psnyheter.bsky.social Swedish Radio P1 (Kropp & Själ) with others about youth, kindness & our ongoing research in Finland where students carry out acts of kindness in schools & society. Listen here: www.sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/sa-g...
Så gör du världen snällare - Kropp & Själ
Är det snällt att hålla tyst om saker man inte gillar? Är det snällt att konfrontera någon som missköter sig?

Då kan ditt barn vara på väg att radikaliseras
Barn som radikaliseras går att hjälpa – i tid. Om din tonåring plötsligt byter umgänge eller isolerar sig kan det vara dags att agera. – Det kan gå väldigt väldigt snabbt, säger Emma Filbey på Centru...

Empathy isn’t soft, it’s the foundation of collaboration, innovation, and well-being.
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.

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.
