Café Babel featured in Swedish media
By Waldemar on Sunday, December 23 2007, 10:56 - Café Babel Stockholm
Waldemar Ingdahl writes about Café Babel in EuropaPosten, the monthly magazine of the European commission in Sweden.
In his article Ingdahl points out that a new Europe needs new forms of media. He describes the present situation where the ever more localized media have difficulties to describe the present developments in Europe. He further explains how participatory journalism and citizen journalism can provide new perspecitives. Now, Sweden can also take the chance to participate in the new Europe through Café Babel as Sweden also has a eurogeneration.

The capital of Scandinavia is on!
By Waldemar on Thursday, October 25 2007, 19:38 - Café Babel Stockholm
The launch at Dront Restaurang & Bar in Stockholm was a pleasant affair. With a lovely buffé and good drinks the new Café Babel community was presented.
The concept of Web 2.0 is actually not that common in Sweden, most parts of our bloggosphere are, despite our reputation of having a rapid adoption of technology, rather similar to when it all started some years ago. Café Babel provides Swedish bloggers with a previously unimagined platform for expressing their ideas to a much larger audience while getting more hits.

Café Babel gives a new addition to Swedish media, as we need to see more parts of Europe and understand other parts of the European experience than just what happens in the European institutions.
Now this cannot be achieved by proper funding, and the next step is to start up a drive for gaining the capital needed. But the launch evening gives good hope, and the partying went on.

Sweden and the Iraqi immigration
By Waldemar on Tuesday, August 7 2007, 13:24 - immigration
Café Babel Stockholm provides its first content to cafebabel.com.
It is Waldemar Ingdahl that writes the View from the ground section Demonstrations against closing the door to Iraqis in Not another Nordic Malta- yet by Thomas Huddleston.
In the article Huddleston and Ingdahl write about the Iraqi refugees in Sweden. While the Iraqi refugee crisis is global in scope, only 4% have sought protection in Europe, mostly in historical safe-haven Sweden. Recently Sweden called for help from the EU and tightened its asylum rules, fearful of shouldering the burden for a migration crisis on a potentially Mediterranean scale. Why should Europe’s small share be such a big deal?

Café Babel blog starting in Sweden
By Waldemar on Friday, May 11 2007, 18:08
For a long time us Swedes have been able to read Café Babel, but up until now we have not had any activities in Sweden. A Swedish Café Babel community is a good way to open up Sweden (and lets not forget the Swedish-speaking Finland) to the rest of Europe.
On this blog we will offer you comments, articles, interviews from a European perspective on what happens in Sweden. Keep reading for further information.
Welcome!
