Welcome to our social kick-start of autumn 2025!

The meeting is a combination of a social event - a potluck/barbecue and a meeting. We will continue to discuss/plan for topics that where brought up during our spring meetings. Bring something edible to share for the potluck and/or something to put on the grill -and your preference of drink. Location: Direktörsvillan (gamla fängelset) Kirseberg (Lundavägen 51A).

Exact time and activities will be announced later, but count on a full day activity wehre we go together by train and bus to meet some of the engaged change-makers in the village, walk in the butiful nature around and eat together.
