History

Fryshuset was founded in 1984 by Anders Carlberg, a well-known Swedish advocate for social justice and reconciliation. He was on the board of the YMCA of Southern Stockholm and was commissioned to find a building where YMCA could gather all its youth activities. He found an old cold storage in the outskirts of the city. It was renovated and rebuilt into a basketball hall and into music studios for young musicians. It was called Fryshuset (the Swedish word for cold storage) and soon became a meeting place for a variety of youth groups. [1] Since then, the organization has grown steadily, today there are Fryshus branches operating in eight cities around Sweden.

Fryshuset has venues in Hammarby Sjöstad, Skärholmen, Husby, Nybro, Torsås, Östra Göinge, Göteborg, Malmö and Borlänge.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tvärbanan</span> Tram line in Stockholm, Sweden

Tvärbanan is a light-rail line in Stockholm, Sweden. Its name translates literally to The transverse line, as it operates crosswise to the otherwise radial metro and commuter rail lines of Stockholm. It links together several transit lines through its connections with the southern, western and northern subway branches of the Stockholm Metro (Tunnelbana) as well as three branches of the Stockholm commuter rail (Pendeltåg). The possibility to travel between southern, western and northern greater Stockholm without having to enter the city centre significantly reduces the number of transit passengers, also reducing the number of trains having to pass through the Old Town bottleneck during peak hours. Near Liljeholmen the track is shared with freight traffic for a short section, this being the only place in Sweden where freight traffic and trams share the same track.

Internationella Engelska Skolan (IES), or the International English School, is a Swedish corporation which operates independent schools.

IES schools are based on the idea of bilingual education, with up to half of teaching being performed in English by native English-speaking teachers recruited from mainly Canada, the US, the UK and South Africa. IES schools are also known for a traditional type of order and structure, contributing to a school environment “in which teachers can teach and students learn”. This is implemented under the concept of “tough love”, which was also the title of a book published in 2018 describing the origin and concepts of IES, written by Hans and Barbara Bergström.

On 15 May 2016, unrest occurred simultaneously in the Swedish towns of Norrköping and Borlänge, primarily in Million Programme Muslim-dominated public housing-areas, with stone-throwing against police and firefighters, car fires and arson attacks.
