How it all started

Gothenburg Media Hub was officially registered as a non-profit organisation in Sweden in 2024 but our story starts in Ringö, mid September 2023.

The founding members met at a design sprint organised by a project called ‘The Circle Hubs‘ that organised similar initiatives in several European cities.

During two weeks in September 2023 the team met for the first time, many ideas were put on the table and thanks to the guidance of mentors from the Dutch publisher and non-profit Are We Europe we got the ideas rolling and hosted our first event a few months later to then officially take the step in registering an organisation.

The experience was invaluable towards creating this project and now organisation running several projects and we are grateful to maintain continued contact with Are We Europe, sister organisations and colleagues we spread across the continent.
