Holidays!

Ok, we’re slowing down for the summer. We’ve had the best spring together with you folks, but now is time for some mountains, some festivals, some travelling – and some workshops at Riddu Riddu in Olmmáivággi (Norway) and Contacting the world in Manchester (England). Let us know if you’re around, otherwise we’ll be back at the blog when the nights start getting dark again.

Have a great summer everyone!

The final countdown

Tromsö summer!

But we are hangin out inside with our portable offices.

Doing lots of counting and counting and counting (Check out Halvards spike mat!)

Good life!

Tromsö is sweet like a dream!

Me and Halvard have just met up in Tromsö after some flying back and forth over Barents, and we will spend tomorrow with lots of numbers and words and typing on the computers. But before that, just see this photo of sunny Tromsö tonight! Summer nights – THIS is the good life in the north!

Ellen Blind having a lecture on cultural rights for sami people.

…and just see how fast spring came! We have just held our last workshop before the summer holidays and it feels GREAT! We have managed to find methods to use and we have learnt to use them. This weekend we had the final workshop with a great team of sami youth from Snåsa (Norway), Jokkmokk (Sweden) and Enare (Finland) on the theme rights of indigenous peoples and rights of sami people. Was well interesting! We also arranged a gig during the night, with Mertzi & Terno Drom playing live and then dj-ing from Gaiakollektivet, woooot! Will post photos from the workshop later this week, stay tuuuned!
