“This kind of places, migrant communities, they are so fed up with people like us basically, you know, trying to do goods you know? And people come here, make their project and then they leave.

But we are here to stay, we are here to build up an organisation that will never leave Fisksätra.” — Staffan Hjalmarsson

Background: Civic tech community Station for Open Cultures has been running for a year. We find out an innovation hub in Sweden which started one and a half years ago. Though facebook comments and messages we came to know them better. The following is a record of our very first video call.
