SALTSJÖBADS-
SPIRIT 2.0
This is an invitation to all of us who live and work in Saltsjöbaden . Let's cultivate a vibrant culture of togetherness where more and more of us who live and work right here in Saltsjöbaden feel it natural to participate in various cross-border collaborations. Together with my colleague Madelene Segtertoft, we are leading the project Saltsjöbadsandan 2.0 as part of Vår Gård 's initiative to develop Destination Saltsjöbaden .

By developing our common ability and our mutual ability, we will be able to solve the various types of urgent problems that we have encountered as a result of the Corona crisis more quickly. In practice, we can cultivate within ourselves a Saltsjöbadsanta 2.0 that creates sustainable added value for our various business operations, our associations, our institutions and our community services.
We will also be able to use our developed collaborative capabilities to more quickly design and test new concepts, value flows, service packages and societal functions that reach far beyond the crisis.
Our belief is that in this way, together, we can profile Destination Saltsjöbaden as an exceptionally attractive place, both for ourselves and our incoming visitors, where:
-it is extra easy to develop and test new innovative solutions (Testination)
-is made for both genuine rest and recovery in beautiful environments (Restination)
-both weekdays and weekends can be filled with happy and playful social gatherings (Festination).
Sure, it's a play on words, but these expressions describe quite well what concrete added value we believe the place Saltsjöbaden has to offer.
We will also be able to design and create different types of usable prototypes more quickly. Above all, we will give ourselves the chance to look and think together beyond our respective horizons much more often and with more pleasure.
To make it easier for us to collaborate, we have decided to quickly and easily build ourselves some well-chosen tools specifically for cross-border collaborations. These will make it easier for us to communicate creatively in digital and physical forms. Vår Gård will become a physical hub here with its large, inspiring environments.
By making Destination Saltsjöbaden a place where people are happy to try new things in a very relaxing and social atmosphere, this can become an even better place to live and work. This in turn becomes an attractive magnet that attracts exciting individuals, businesses and networks from other places to want to come to us in Saltsjöbaden . Here it is easier to test new concepts, carry out fun activities and cultivate relationships that last longer.
What do we do in practice to be able to cultivate our togetherness and develop our ability to work together? We simply suggest that we start doing more cross-border things together!
Our strong sense of community and developed ability to work together will likely result in more local jobs and better opportunities for more people to earn their own living. It will also be much easier to run different types of businesses and we will also have access to a better local range of products, services and different types of support.
We also gain the conditions to achieve better accessibility in our local community services and a higher degree of resilience among our companies, associations, institutions and residents.
We can probably also increase the recycling rate and reduce the total resource consumption for much of what we develop, produce, deliver and maintain here in Saltsjöbaden.
So, welcome to join in the co-creation, we have exceptional conditions to cultivate Saltsjöbadsandan 2.0 together. We can't even blame the fact that we don't have a venue.
