Political and social involvement can manifest itself in different ways during fragmented times. How is it possible to keep people’s interest when attitudes change so quickly? How can one get involved in a way that brings results, and is activism on the street still important? It is easy to ‘like’ posts on Facebook, but actually achieving something usually calls for more than that.

Join the discussion on the involvement of young people in today’s society.

There can be no doubt that many young people care, but involvement and solidarity in today’s society can take new shapes that are not always equally obvious to the rest of the world. With this as a point of departure, we invite the public to a discussion between a panel and the audience: Is it harder or easier to get involved in the community when one has access to a full range of information and social media? Are things going so well here in Norway that we are getting involved in a vacuum?

From climate crisis to refugee crisis – the panellists have taken part in actions that extend over long periods of time and across national frontiers. They share their experiences of how new technology and old-fashioned campaigning are tools for freedom of expression, involvement and the practice of democracy.

Welcome with or without pre-defined notions!

On the panel:
Ahmad Dalati, Refugees Welcome to Oslo
Ingrid Skjoldvær, Nature and Youth
Nikolai Fjågesund, European Youth

Moderator: Nancy Herz, Amnesty International

Free of charge and open to everyone.
