How can Sweden get better at integrating immigrants?

In this week's episode we talk about why immigrants in Sweden are often lumped into categories and what needs to be done to forge real connections, and we look at what Indian readers are telling us about their relationship with Sweden.

Also, after the United States released a national security strategy that sent shockwaves through Europe, we examine what commentators are saying about the potential ramifications here in Sweden.

For Membership+ subscribers we discuss what it takes to get a gymnasium, or upper secondary level, qualification in Swedish.

And with Princess Sofia in the news over meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, we talk through her rise to prominence from Paradise Hotel contest to Duchess of Värmland.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Richard Orange and James Savage. The episode also features an interview with our contributor Faisal Khan. 

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:

Immigration

  • LONG READ: In Sweden, there are only good, bad, ugly and evil immigrants
  • UN slams Sweden's 'discriminatory' push to tighten citizenship rules
  • 'The cold changes people's brains': Do Indians in Sweden prefer life back home?

Language

  • How to decide which Swedish language certificate is best for you

Royals

  • ARCHIVE: How a reality TV star got a Swedish fairytale
