Samfundsmøte: Understanding Norwegians

Norway is a small country but has a diverse culture, with good, bad, and some strange qualities. Why does noone talk to each other on the bus? When did tacos become the national dish? What is “koselig”? What is the deal with roller skis? And, why do we care so much about that others think that we would organize an event like this?

Norway is a country known for its fjords and mountains, modern architecture and design, and as one of the best countries in the world to live in. But there is a strange backside to Norwegian culture. Russ, personal space and an obsession with tacos are integrated parts of life here in Norway, but might be difficult to understand from the outside. And don’t worry, we don’t always get it either. So, whether you are from Norway or not, come to learn about what it is to be a Norwegian.

We have asked for help from the experts to try to get to the bottom of this. We’ll be joined by Julien Bourelle, author of “The Social Guidebook to Norway”. Gulabuddin Sukhanwar will also be coming. He came to Norway from Afghanistan in 2013, and works at Litteraturhuset and has degrees in both political science and law. This event will be held in English. More will be announced.

Ticket: 0,-/50,- (Member/Non-member). Purchase at entrance.
