The Swedish "Study Circle"
Folkbildningsrörelsen: that is the name we have for this movement of self-organized study groups, resource centers, maker spaces, public lectures, and free retreats for personal development.
These types of things exist in other countries too – but not at the same scale. Or even close.

It's a wonderful idea and I'd love to have something similar here among my friends and social group.

As you'll see in the end of day summary, it's been an absolutely miserable day of playing chess for me. Feels like one of those periods I need to stop playing for a while and refocus on some analysis and practice. I have lost every single game today I think.
