• October SIS Book Club ”Olive Kitteridge” by Elizabeth Strout

  • When
    6 Oct 2026
  •  
    18:00 - 19:30
  • Location
    SpongeCookies Café, Kocksgatan 19, Södermalm

  Our next read  is Michelles choice.
  Meet Olive Kitteridge: a retired schoolteacher who is blunt on the surface, but possesses a complex, deeply human heart. In Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, we follow Olive and the residents of a small coastal Maine town through the messy, beautiful realities of everyday life—navigating marriage, grief, aging, and unexpected friendships. Written as a series of interconnected stories, the book offers a remarkably honest look at human nature that is both fiercely witty and deeply moving. We hope this book  will spark rich debate, personal reflections, and an unforgettable conversation at our next book club.
  
  We ll meet in SpongeCookies Cafe, Kocksgatan 19 on 6/10 from 18.00-19.30.
  
  Welcome!

  A Perfect Swedish-Irish Cinematic Alliance!
  
  
  Join the Swedish-Irish Society for a screening of the dark comedy-thriller Bad Apples, starring the acclaimed Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.
  

  Dedicated middle school teacher Maria tries her best to inspire her class, but is constantly thwarted by the rowdy and acting-out student Danny. Left to fend for herself, she accidentally imprisons Danny in her basement, and soon discovers how harmony spreads through the class, to the delight of both the school and the parents.

  Swedish director Jonatan Etzler (One More Time, The Bather) manages to use sharp humor and highly topical themes to highlight how quickly our ideals are abandoned when convenience and consensus are at play.

  We look forward to seeing you there!

  
  Early Bird tickets available until 5/10. 100kr for members (120kr from 6/10), 120kr for friends of SIS and guests of members (140kr from 6/10). Early Bird tickets must be paid for by 5/10.

• Hike at Hellasgården(Stockholm)

  • When
    18 Oct 2026

    Hellasgården, Nacka

  Hi everyone!
  
  On Sunday the 18th of October we're planning a hike in Nackareservatet (Nacka Nature Reserve) in Stockholm.
  The hike will be around 7.5 km at a fairly relaxed pace, starting and ending at the Hellasgården recreational area near Källtorp lake. We'll be following a marked trail and the terrain is mostly easy gravel paths. I recommend bringing shoes that can handle a bit of mud, and rain gear too if we get any showery spells.
  
  We'll finish at Hellasgården where they have a restaurant and café if you want to have lunch or coffee, they also have benches if you'd like to take your own packed lunch and snacks.
  The hike starts at 10:30 from Hellasgården bus stop (beside the tennis courts, across the road from the restaurant and main car park). So put it in your calendar and we hope to see you there!
  Don't forget to bring a camera for those autumn leaves!
  
  P.s. If the weather is rubbish we may cancel, so keep an eye on our event.
  
  Instructions on how to get to Hellasgården with public transport are as follows:
  1. Take a bus from Slussen: the 401 (towards Älta), it stops at Hellasgården and goes through Henriksdal and Sickla.
  2. Take a bus from Nacka or Tyresö: the 840 (from Nacka Strand to Handenterminalen) or 821 (from Nacka Sjukhus to Tyresö Centrum), both stop at Hellasgården.
