Description
<p><strong>Skate Nation</strong> is a Swedish initiative that helps integrate newly arrived youth through skateboarding. By offering free boards, coaching, and a welcoming community, they turn skating into a universal language, breaking barriers of background and language.</p><p>In our talk, we explored how urban designers can create inclusive skateparks that invite everyone to participate and feel safe.</p><p>We also discussed Skate Nation’s collaboration with <strong>Nobel Week Lights</strong> in <strong>Tensta</strong>, where light, art, and skate culture met, transforming public space into a place for movement, connection, and creativity.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 <em>Note: The audio quality isn’t perfect, this episode was recorded right in the middle of a skatepark. We’ve used AI to reduce background noise.</em></p><p>Read more about Skatenation</p><p><a href="https://skatenation.se/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://skatenation.se/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest contact </strong>Axel Lindquist , Projektledare ,[email protected]</p><p><br></p><p>In collaboration with Nobel Week Lights.</p><p>Read more </p><p><a href="https://www.nobelprizemuseum.se/en/nobel-week-lights/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.nobelprizemuseum.se/en/nobel-week-lights/</a></p><p>___</p><p>Keep Up the Good Work.
