Film Screening (Stockholm) - Bad Apples (12 Oct 2026)

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:00:00 GMT

A Perfect Swedish-Irish Cinematic Alliance!

Join the Swedish-Irish Society for a screening of the dark comedy-thriller Bad Apples, starring the acclaimed Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.

Dedicated middle school teacher Maria tries her best to inspire her class, but is constantly thwarted by the rowdy and acting-out student Danny. Left to fend for herself, she accidentally imprisons Danny in her basement, and soon discovers how harmony spreads through the class, to the delight of both the school and the parents.
Swedish director Jonatan Etzler (One More Time, The Bather) manages to use sharp humor and highly topical themes to highlight how quickly our ideals are abandoned when convenience and consensus are at play.We look forward to seeing you there!

Hike at Hellasgården(Stockholm) (18 Oct 2026)

Sun, 18 Oct 2026 08:30:00 GMT

Hi everyone!

On Sunday the 18th of October we're planning a hike in Nackareservatet (Nacka Nature Reserve) in Stockholm.
The hike will be around 7.5 km at a fairly relaxed pace, starting and ending at the Hellasgården recreational area near Källtorp lake. We'll be following a marked trail and the terrain is mostly easy gravel paths. I recommend bringing shoes that can handle a bit of mud, and rain gear too if we get any showery spells.

We'll finish at Hellasgården where they have a restaurant and café if you want to have lunch or coffee, they also have benches if you'd like to take your own packed lunch and snacks.
The hike starts at 10:30 from Hellasgården bus stop (beside the tennis courts, across the road from the restaurant and main car park). So put it in your calendar and we hope to see you there!
Don't forget to bring a camera for those autumn leaves!

P.s. If the weather is rubbish we may cancel, so keep an eye on our event.

Instructions on how to get to Hellasgården with public transport are as follows:
1. Take a bus from Slussen: the 401 (towards Älta), it stops at Hellasgården and goes through Henriksdal and Sickla.
2. Take a bus from Nacka or Tyresö: the 840 (from Nacka Strand to Handenterminalen) or 821 (from Nacka Sjukhus to Tyresö Centrum), both stop at Hellasgården.

November SIS Book Club ”The Safekeep” by Yael van der Wouden (3 Nov 2026)

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Our next read is Teresas choice.

Looking for a gripping page-turner packed with secrets, obsession, and a massive twist?
The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden—winner of the prestigious Women's Prize for Fiction—is the perfect pick for our next read!

Set in the Dutch countryside in 1961, the story follows Isabel, a rigid woman whose isolated life is upended when her brother's chaotic girlfriend, Eva, moves in for the summer. When household items begin to vanish, Isabel's paranoia spirals into an intense, forbidden passion. But the house itself holds darker, hidden histories from World War II that will change everything.

We ll meet in SpongeCookies Cafe, Kocksgatan 19 on 3/11 from 18.00-19.30.

Welcome!

No registration necessary!
