  2. After roughly two years as retired I have still a few professional engagements • I am still involved in the work with the Public Service Account but hope to have made the last one now when reporting 2013! • After 25 years my engagement in the project to write Swedish Broadcast history came to an end. We recently finished the archives of the project and the last volume – in English – an anthology on Swedish Broadcasting History was published at the end of 2013. • The volume will soon be available in a digital format. Available now are 39 of the almost 50 titles published in Swedish digitalised and republished via ur.se.

  3. Today I work with two different non-profit associations FolkKulturCentrum (The Society of Folks Culture) & Kulturlandskaparna (The Society of Landscaping)

  4. FolkKulturCentrum (FKC) • I like to write satire based on everyday life. 2014 is a big election year in Sweden not only having the elections for the EU parliament within a few weeks but also elections for Swedish Parliament and communities. • I have written an ironic text over the agricultural subsidy that EU offers and that I nowadays have some experience of (more on that later) • Another text is satiric to the routines at Swedish emergency clinics at the big hospitals • You might have heard about Complaints Choirs? We have written a text in that tradition to be sang • And finally the big work giving each Parliamentary party leader a real smack from a group dressed like school children singing famous children songs dressed in the crepe paper collars we used to have when we were at school. Let me give you some examples.

  5. Vänsterpartiet (GUE/NGL) European United Left–Nordic Green Left

  6. Socialdemokraterna (S&D) Socialists & Democrats The rose by Javier Mariscal was not approved by the group!

  7. Miljöpartiet (G/EFA) The Greens | European Free Alliance

  8. Centerpartiet (Alde) Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe

  9. Sverigedemokraterna

  10. Over to Kulturlandskaparna!

  11. Kulturlandskaparna • I was born in Solna – a suburb town outside Stockholm. I never thought I would be involved there anymore after leaving it 1968. • Surprisingly I have found an agricultural environment in this urban area that I did not know of before. • It is an old milk farm that delivered milk daily into Stockholm City. The farm employed some 100 persons 100 years ago - labourers were paid in kind. • Today Kulturlandskaparna keep a stock of sheep helping to keep 10 ha (about 25 acres) land open either by pasturage or hay-making. • Children are welcome to learn more about the animals and the yearly cycle with them. We also give courses to learn about wool craft, fencing, sheep breeding and hay making by scythe. • I would like to present some pictures from our work on the farm

  12. Thank you for your attention!
