An Article of Hope

Working on an article this Monday, I visited Malmö Nation. A group of 12 university students, collaborating with the Red Cross Youth, recently initiated a project to help High School students study. The half-an-hour stop was heart-warming. Every volunteer I spoke to emphasised a want to give back; it being their way of saying thank you to all those that had in some way helped them.

It is an important local story. Too often we forget that while we cannot individually change the world, we can change a world. And that is what these university students were doing; changing one world at a time by supporting others. Simply, they were being big enough to make a difference.

An Exciting Project

We may be a school newspaper, but that hardly means we cannot reach experts for comment. An article being written about chat control legislation in the European Union by our Politics Editor Sophie includes an exclusive quote from a professor at Aarhus University. By asking, she got an answer. I am not a chat control debating enthusiast, but this article is one I am excited to read.

A Big Itinerary

We are being noticed. By contacting and being contacted, I have an exciting itinerary to share, showcasing that the work done at Katte Gazette is larger than solely writing articles. Our work is about telling the stories that matter and adding perspective to people’s perceptions of the world.

October:

• I am meeting with the Mayor of Simrishamn and Regional Councillor Jeanette Ovesson to discuss education and preparing young people for the future’s economy.
• A local conference about the Swedish reading crisis will include a presentation by me about engaging people in language and literature.
• I am meeting with the Mayor of Lund Anders Almgren to discuss critical analysis and engaging young people in politics and our world.
