The global security landscape is in turmoil. For small states like Sweden and Finland, which share common values, defending a rules-based world order is a critical foreign policy goal. With an increased emphasis on hard security issues and the heightened challenges to the rules-based international order especially by authoritarian countries, there is a declining focus on core international values and the multilateral structures built to maintain them. How can Finland and Sweden work to uphold the multilateral system and develop it to meet future challenges better? Participants: Gabriella Irsten, Head of sustainable peace and human security, Svenska Freds, Caroline Holmqvist, Swedish Defense University Stockholm, political scientist, Ilmari Nalbantoglu, Director of Advocacy, Fingo and Iida Hyyryläinen, The Ulkopolitist. Introduction by Anna Ivemark and Ina Lindberg.

Investors and philanthropic organisations are increasingly more interested in impact investing. At the same time, value and impact-driven companies and organisations struggle to find financing. Can impact investing be a solution for building a society that is sustainable both socially, culturally, environmentally and economically? In this podcast Finnish and Swedish experts discuss the subject with Milton´s partner Kaius Niemi. The podcast has been produced by Hanaholmen and Munck Studios in cooperation with Arvoliitto, Alfred Kordelin Foundation and Foundation Brita Maria Renlunds Minne. Introduction by Anna Ivemark & Ina Lindberg.

In the Nordics, our lives are dominated by a sense of rush. Through social media, there is a constant "rush to speak" which easily leads to a rush to think, and hence to polarized and simplified opinions. One might ask, does this constant rush also correlate with the frenzy of over-consumption?Marcia Harvey Isaksson (b. 1975, Zimbabwe) is a Stockholm-based artist, exhibition designer and curator. She is also the founder of Southnord, a platform that makes space for black and Afro-Nordic artists. She invests in the good life by exploring other ways of being and knowing together with the Southnord community.Julia Ojanen (b. 1978, Finland) is the Director of Villa Karo, the Finnish institute for West Africa. She has lived and worked for over 15 years of her life outside Finland, mainly in Africa and Asia. Julia explores the mystery of good life by reaching to the poetic and by catching glimpses of insight in conversations with artists.Moderated by Sonya Lindfors, Director.
