This kind of workshop is ideal for large events where people pass each other by — and you just wish they’d talk to each other a little more. It can run for as long as you like, and anyone can join in for exactly as long as feels comfortable.

At the Compliment Card station, people made their own cards — a kind word, a pick-up line, an icebreaker — to keep, give to a friend, or hand to a complete stranger.

At Talk to Strangers!, we ask people to borrow back that kindergarten-era curiosity: pick a question from the box, ask it to someone you’ve never met, and pin their answer to our wall. Slowly, together, a mosaic of new friendships takes shape.

Example questions we work with:

• What was the last time you truly felt at home? 
• What makes you fall in love with a space? 
• What brought you here? 
• What is your favorite childhood memory? 
• If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be and why?

A collective, visual workshop on a public wall — or directly on the grass, or concrete. Together, we build a layered, colourful map of Stockholm (or any part of Stockholm) — drawn by the people who actually live in it.

Two formats to choose from:

• Memory Map. Mark the spot where you first fell in love. Where something important happened. Where you’d return if you could only return once. Slowly, an emotional map of the city emerges.
• Your Ideal City. A blank outline of streets and squares — and you fill them in. The buildings, the people, the small details that would make a city truly yours.

By the end of the afternoon, the wall (or the grass) holds a city you’d never visit otherwise.

A line strung between trees. Wooden clothespins. Envelopes hanging in the wind.

Write a letter to someone you’ve never met — and dedicate it to: someone having a bad day, someone who is missing someone, someone in love, someone who needs to hear this today.

Take any letter that speaks to you. Leave one of your own. The line keeps growing all afternoon, full of words from strangers, for strangers.

At the beginning of summer, the city feels alive. People are full of light, hope, and energy. By November, much of that fades.

This workshop builds a small bridge across those months. You write a letter to your future self — to be delivered in November, just as winter sets in. Add a photo. Draw something. Or simply leave yourself a few words. We’ll hold onto the envelope, and post it back to you when the days grow short.

A reminder, written in your own handwriting, that arrives exactly when you need it most.

A playful, social workshop that reimagines the classic Truth or Dare — Sanning eller konka — as a tool for stepping outside our comfort zones in public space.

You know what to do – choose between a truth or a dare, draw a card with a small dare or or question.

Either ask the question to someone else, or complete the dare, and then pass the card on to someone else, who has to do the same. The cards travel through the park, through strangers, through the day — building a chain of small, brave, ridiculous gestures.

• If the whole world could hear you right now, what would you say? Take a chalk marker and write it on the ground.
• Write three things that make you happy right now on this card, then pass it on. If you’ve received this card, keep it going.
• Try to exchange this card for something from a stranger — ideally for something that makes you happy. If you’ve received this card, keep it going.

The format is light, infectious, and a little absurd — but underneath, it’s about what STOCKHOLM! project keeps coming back to: how art and small gestures in public space can give people a reason to look up, talk to each other, and step out of their everyday rhythm.
