Description

Fika is a Swedish intangible cultural heritage. Although there is no direct translation from Swedish to English that perfectly describes what Fika means, it can be loosely translated to 'coffee break'. However, Fika means a lot more than just having a coffee break, with the socialising aspect forming a very important part. Every day, Swedes take a Fika break where they have a coffee with friends, family or colleagues; often with something sweet on the side. It's a break from work, school, or any other obligations that people may have, where they can sit down and have a calm moment with a coffee and a friend. It's valuable in many different ways, not only for establishing a work-life balance, but also for maintaining one's well-being and improving productivity levels.
