Presentation of nesterleder / female contact / AUF contact and secretary

Hi!

My name is Yvonne Iversen, is 21 years and is vice-chairman, Women's and AUF contact in the UAP. I actually come from London but currently lives in Follo, Akershus. 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. In recent years chosen politics instead of karate, but has continued to be the coach for children and young people, and judge at various competitions. Besides karate, yoga and Pilates, the film (especially), music, literature and drawing my great passions. Is also very fond of traveling and getting to know new people.


Political background:

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.
