First update.
Was just in Oslo, Norway's capital for a meeting with the childrens advisory board. Our members our spread around the country, and since Plan norway have their offices in Oslo we meet there.
This was our fourth meeting and it ended up being very hectic. One of the first things we did was to elect one of our members to represent us in the head board. We all had to present a speech to promote ourself, something i dont always feel comfortable doing:( but it all went, and i was elected. its is gonig to be very interesting, because this in one of the first times a youth is put into thehead board of and organisation here in Norway. It is also a bit intimidating because all the other members are well profiled people here in Norway(bishop, corruptionhunter, ex-minister, and so on) in the age between 50 and 60.
Well other then that our meeting was full of interveiwas. we met the minister of developement and the child- and family affairs ministry and asked the about he CRC being more implemeted in school, and youth participation in issues involving them. The first meeting went well, but on the last mentioned one, we felt like we weren't being proparly listened to. at the end ofour meeting they asked us if we had any suggestions, but we had been giving them loads throughout the whole hour,. it was very frustrating.
Well, thats it for now. My summervacation starts on thursday, adn im finally getting a well-deserved break.
Later:)
