For everyday, I am a student at the University of Oslo, where I go 3 year of teacher training. As part of the program, I have this year chosen to specialize me in the natural and social sciences and English next year. Plans to study English literature in Britain after learning studies, and take further training in special education. was for many years competitive athlete in karate, with five championship medals on the merit list.

has since summer 2004 been active in the AUF, Labour Party Youth League, where I have included the last two years served as director / manager for the school committee / school manager for the county board of AUF in Oslo. In addition I have also been active in the Labour Party and were both active in the election campaign in 2005 and 2007. Has previously been chairman and vice chairman for Southern Nordstrand AUF, AUF, as well as board member and connector in the Peace Forum in Oslo, the Labor Party and the financial manager in the College AUF. Is precisely chosen to head University AUF.


political questions that occupy me
:
Much of the reason I became active as a political injustice - that some people in the world are so privileged that they're allowed to take an education such as in Norway and live life without having to think about every day as a struggle against existence. Therefore, anything that concerns me most equal right to education - for everyone. Education is helping to ensure future generations the same opportunities and benefits we all enjoy in today's Norway. In addition, I am also very interested in union issues and the preservation of the welfare state.


Presentation by secretary



My name is Nik. Brandal, is 36 years and secretary of the UAP. I come originally from Vanylven on the coast, but has lived in Oslo, more or less since 1998, the last five years in Homansbyen. I am a research fellow at the Institute of Archaeology, Conservation and History, University of Oslo, where I am researching the rise of the extreme left movements and parties within the student movement in the United States and West Germany in the late 1960's. The project, which is entitled "From the New Left To The Far Left. West Germany and the United States 1967-1970 ", will be completed in spring 2012.

Political background.
I've been a member secretary of UAP since spring 2008. This is my first election to the Labour Party, after have been a relatively passive member
the International Forum in OAP
for some years . But I'm also the fourth generation in my family who have had trust in the Labour Party, and I come from a background where politics and political debate has always been important. As a historian, it is also the political story that has interested me, but most of the history of the extreme political ideas, both right and left. If anyone was going to be a bit wary of having a representative of such interests, however, I can assure you that just this has avfødd both a fundamental skepticism towards extremism and a deep respect for compromise and cooperation as a political art form. political issues that concern me
Today, the universal human rights; Freedom, equality and fraternity, which most political persuasions will sign (if anyone would doubt it is just a reminder that the Brezhnev signed the Helsinki Declaration). But when these rights have been fought through and made to international standards, the labor movement that has taken the fight. And when these rights have been threatened, the labor movement who have borne the heaviest cost of standing up against tyrants, in Germany under Hitler in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, from Haymarket to Menstad to the mines in Wales. A world in which freedom, equality and fraternity are available for everyone and is accessible to all, is the driving force in my political involvement. It requires a fundamental respect for differences and diversity, human dignity and economic sustainable development that can lift those who still live in poverty and give everyone the opportunity of a better life. How has the European co-created peace and lifted millions of people out of poverty in the postwar period. Norway has over the last century through the academic-political cooperation between LO and Labour Party managed to create a welfare society in breadth and depth exceeds all the generations before us could have dreamed of. But if this society is to survive it is essential that we do not see it as a completed project. To build the country is a project that will never end and that must be in constant change. As social democrats, we must then be true to the goals, but cheating on the instruments. And we must never stop believing that a better world is possible, for Norway and the world.

Smelly And Sore Throat

Presentation of Chairman

Hi everyone!

My name is Dag Einar and is 28 years old and newly elected leader of the UAP. I come originally from Larvik, but has lived in Oslo for almost ten years, the last three years on Oppsal. For everyday, I am research fellow and doctoral student at the Department of Political Science at the University of Oslo. In the work on a doctorate, I write a thesis on the political thinking of the British philosophers Isaiah Berlin and Karl Popper, and in particular their attempt to defend a liberal democracy characterized by intellectual openness and willingness to compromise.

Political background:
Here I would of course wish that there was a long list of praise from office, but the truth is that the leadership of the UAP is my first official duties of the Labour Party. However, I have over many years been very interested politics. Some might argue that I am a real policy nerd who find it difficult to talk about other things. But it is only recently that I have supplemented the purely academic interest in politics with an ever-increasing political commitment. In particular, there were elections in 2005 and 2007 that made me more engaged. I also have two years have been representative of the temporary employees Department of Political Science (2006-7). political issues that concern me:


main reason why I became politically active in the Labour Party is that recent years have become clearer to me how important and necessary it is to take up the fight for justice and democracy, both in the Norwegian society and the world at large. As I see it, it is not possible to take for granted that the development will go in the right direction all by itself, but that is something that requires effort from everyone who wants a good thing. I'm especially interested in research and education which surely can be regarded as a kind of occupational injury. Here, I believe that there is still a job to do, because the policy in this area too is largely characterized by a random fashion waves, and to a sufficient degree by a proper reflection on how research and education can help create a more just society and a more vibrant democracy. I am also concerned about local issues, particularly urban development and social issues in Oslo, where the development unfortunately has stood still or gone in the wrong direction in recent years. In addition, I am also interested in foreign and security policy, and in particular I am interested in questions about how we can pave the way for a more solidarity and more peaceful world.

Why Does My Pir Lamp Stop



To all members of the university's Labor team.
Oslo, 02.28.1908.
It is now time to give a report from our annual meeting, held a week ago in Oslo. Of the cases that were presented at the annual meeting pointed out, most indicate that there is an urgent need for increased activity and higher temperatures in our team. The annual report which was presented also show that we have had some activities, but there are also opportunities to do more.

In addition, several changes to the Board at the annual meeting, and we have now received many new and enthusiastic people. In addition, Yvonne, Jørn Magnus and ensuring the continuity and experience in UAPs rule. A new board is as follows:

Leader: Dag Einar Thorsen
Vice Chairman and female contact: Yvonne Iversen

Directors:
Silje Gjerpen Møller-Stray, Magnus Worren, Maria Bergram Aas

In addition the annual meeting that the leader of AUF Blindern hereinafter joins our board to speak and submit proposals.

this coming Tuesday, the new board seriously begin their work. We will then make a plan for how we should become more active in what is left of the spring semester. If you have suggestions on what we should do in the future, report it to me before Board meeting.

In the short term we will work our way towards the central committee's application deadline for the debate about education policy booklet, which is the 1 June. This discussion guide is available on the Labour Party's website along with other useful information about the work on new program until the party congress next year. Select key words "program debate" on the front,

In that regard, I proposed to the Board that we set down a committee to prepare a memorandum on higher education and research, to be discussed at a members meeting in good time before the consultation deadline. We should aim us to be a team that is listened to in education and research policy, and it is important that we get started with this work quickly, and that we promote concrete and constructive suggestions for the program. This is an opportunity for those who are stuck with engagement on the issue, so if you want to be part of this work, then speak out to me. In addition, Blindern AUF participate in this committee. Regards Dag Einar.
