Founder of Christian Atheist Society, Lauren Ell, was recently featured in major international media outlet The World to discuss the antisocial climate in Sweden.
The article, published on November 30, 2023, focuses on a campaign called “Say Hi” (“Säg Hej”) that was hosted in Luleå municipality in Sweden. The campaign encourages residents to say hi to each other to build a stronger community and to combat loneliness.
In the piece Ell discusses her experience of living in Sweden as a foreigner and trying to communicate in Sweden. She also shares that she has hosted social gatherings to try to bring people together in her community and to help locals, primarily newcomers, become more acquainted with each other.
Sweden is one of the most antisocial countries in the world. The poor communication among Swedish citizens has been a growing problem for decades.
