A hub for independent
creators.
Coworking, events, creative exploration and community based non-formal learning.
STPLN is located at Kommendanthuset, nestled right in-between Malmöhus Slott and Västra Hamnen. It is a space for coworking, creative events, and plenty of room for experimentation.
It is a place where you can fly high and land soft.
In Focus:
STPLN at the Celebrating Our Diversity Forum 2025
At the Celebrating Our Diversity Forum 2025 in Gothenburg and Stenungsund, Farhia and Marisa from STPLN joined cultural practitioners and organisations from across Europe and the Mediterranean to explore how creativity and collaboration can build trust in times of change.
The forum, organised by the Anna Lindh Foundation and the National Museums of World Culture, focused on the theme “Trust – How civil society organisations are contributing to building trust in society.”
STPLN contributed by leading the Practitioners Lab — a hands-on workshop where participants explored real-world dilemmas in cultural collaboration. Using our "Trust in Collaboration" cards - a dialogue-based card game, the session invited reflection on challenges, shared understanding, and collective ways forward.
Taking part in this forum reflects STPLN’s ongoing mission: to support creative communities, foster meaningful collaboration, and connect local practice in Malmö with global conversations about culture, trust, and the future of cooperation.
These Reflection Cards will soon be available at STPLN on Malmöhusvägen 5, and everyone is welcome to come by and try them out themselves.
Anna Lindh Foundation offers a lot of opportunities for creatives. ALF in Motion is a mobility grant enabling face-to-face intercultural exchanges between civil-society actors from opposite shores of the Mediterranean. Deadline: 8 Nov 2025.
