When: Monday, 4 September 2017, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The main findings and conclusions from the project ‘The Status of Freedom of Expression in Norway 2015–2017’ are now available in Norwegian in a brief report.
We warmly invite journalists based anywhere in Russia, Eastern Europe or Central Asia with over three years experience to apply for the series of workshops on “Reporting skills in the digital era” organised by ‘Perspektivy’, (Программа “Перспективы”). The workshops aim to develop skills on news reporting and how best to promote it in the challenging environment of the digital era.
Is there a common Norwegian literary canon? Which canonised works continue to be relevant today? Is popular literature accorded insufficient attention when the best books are named? Which works and authorships would the libraries like to promote? Which publications of today will be the classics of tomorrow? How can libraries promote important Norwegian literature through new activities and initiatives?
