GROW – leave no #neighbourhood behind
Social and economic #segregation is on the rise across Nordic cities. But we won’t accept that any neighbourhood is left behind. We want #inclusion and #safety to grow so every citizen of any neighborhood take part in society.
Officially huge news!

The prime minister and the president of @finland want the nation to join @NATO. Huge news, obviously!
If they do join – and Sweden too, which looks likely at this point - it’ll change the whole security landscape of the Nordic countries.

We all know local politicians are at the receiving end of quite a lot of negative online talk. But exactly how much?

Men der er løsninger; fx er enkelte vestegnskomm allerede nået langt, pga arb m borgerrettede netværksstyringsprocesser https://twitter.com/krimforebyg/status/1522096464306089984
