Welcome to the American club of Sweden!
We’ve been around for 100 years. Our staying power comes through our purpose: to bring people together. Americans. Swedes. Or anyone interested in either country. To create platforms for advancing ideas. Or sharing interests. Both online and in person. Join us.
We are pleased to co-host this event, featuring a reading for Julie Lindahl’s book "The Pendulum" (in English), followed by a panel discussion among founding members of New Voices. This initiative seeks to innovate learning about war and peace. Stay to mingle - light refreshments will be served. Doors open at 17.40; event starts promptly at 18.00.
Both the Swedish and English version of the book will be available for purchase with payment possible via Swish or credit card.
Poem: When Giving Is All We Have
We give because someone gave to us.
We give because nobody gave to us.
We give because giving has changed us.
We give because giving could have changed us.
We have been better for it,
We have been wounded by it—
Giving has many faces: It is loud and quiet,
Big, though small, diamond in wood-nails.
Its story is old, the plot worn and the pages too,
But we read this book, anyway, over and again:
Giving is, first and every time, hand to hand,
Mine to yours, yours to mine.
You gave me blue and I gave you yellow.
Together we are simple green. You gave me
What you did not have, and I gave you
What I had to give—together, we made
Something greater from the difference.
- Alberto Rios
