6th October (Tuesday) Day 3

Today we visited Brattvåg and UFO- a youth center, which is also our host organization in Norway. We were actually shocked by the size of it and a number of facilities and social and cultural alternatives offered to local young people. We had an opportunity to participate in four different cultural workshops:


Music...

photography...

loesje (creative writing)...


and roleplay...


We enjoyed the workshops enormously!!! Now, we are all humming: "Oh!, She's electric..." and thinking a lot about the life of refrigerators, bags made in China and recycling of hugs :)

After the workshops we participated in a debate with representatives of four local political parties, which was marvellous, one of the most interesting activities up till now, as we could taste some real politics.




Moreover, we learnt a lot about educational system, environmental issues, democracy, participation, economy, immigration policy and many, many more issues in Norway.

We see Norway as a country which could share many good practice with other European countries...
