Welcome to the first ever episode of Spero: Between the Lines! - the Spero show that peels back the curtain for a deep dive into the Spero articles themselves. Each episode we speak to a different Spero writer to learn more about the country that they produced content on.  We chat with them about their articles in more depth, but also take a look further into their production process behind developing the content! This week we are joined by Amelie Dring to take us between the lines on Swedish Design concepts and the Gay Audacity of Swedish couple Malin & Jules in the founding of their queer community Flatmates.  You can read Amelie’s article “Minimalism, Functionalism and ‘Lagom’: Swedish Design Principles and Social Values” hereYou can read Amelie’s article “Gay Audacity’ in Reinventing Stockholm’s Queer Nightlife” hereWant to check out Malin & Jules and their Flatmates events find them across socials:Instagram: @malinandjules @flatmates.sthlmTikTok: @malinandjules @flatmates.sthlmYoutube: @malinandjulesWant to find our more about us and continue following our work, follow us across our socials:Instagram: @spero_hopeforthefuture TikTok: @spero_hopeforthefutureLinkedIn: @spero-hopeforthefutureAnd check out our website https://spero-hopeforthefuture.com/ This episode was hosted by Milly Harrison featuring guest Amelie Dring.Support & Production by Chloe Matthews, Milly Harrison, Basila Sikaulu, Georgina Norton, Revati Kaluskar & Megan BloreEpisode Fact Check:Minecraft was created by Swedish game programmer Markus Persson in 2009.

SourceTwenty years after the introduction of the parental leave, fathers’ use of parental leave had increased somewhat, but not enough to be close to gender equal use. This led to further reforms in parental leave such as in 1995 the introduction of the ‘reserved month’ for each parent. SourceAnything that doesn’t sound quite right?
