Welcome to Chit Chat -Gåshaga School’s podcast!
Our vision is that every two weeks, Steph and Kat, along with ‘guest speakers’ (could be a parent, a member of staff etc.) will join a handful of students to discuss and talk about ‘hot’ topics. These topics vary from subject matters that are being discussed in class or by our councellor – ranging from social media, how to stay safe online, gaming and topics related to school – food waste for another example.
Please listen to our episodes on our website and expect more hot topics/discussions in the new term! Click on picture below or scan the QR code for the 10th and final episode of this school year and stay tuned for more to come this Fall Term 2023!
Have a read about Futuraskolan International Danderyd being the first preschool accepted into “The Nordic Network of International Schools” and why our guardians have chosen our preschool for their children!
“They really live with this international spirit,” says Sylwia, who moved to Sweden two years ago from the UK, where her daughter Rosie was born. “Rosie has friends from England, Ireland, Italy, Mongolia.

“Many of our kids move to the UK, the US or somewhere else and then they start school earlier, so we want them to be ready,” Adriana says. “We’re not babysitters. We’re a stepping stone, we want the kids to thrive and we have teachers dedicated to enabling that.
