There I also met folks from these orgs: - shiptogaza.no - palestina.no **Monday** I met with folks of these orgs: - solidarity committee latin-amerikagruppene.no - @attacnorge@snabelen.no - workers' union ntl.no I met with folks running fediverse instances: - @amici@fribygda.no (admin of my other mastodon home instance) - @3rik@oslo.town I met the publisher of the norwegian translation of #adaAndZangemann, and was gifted a copy :heart_cyber: Get your own [here](https://www.lulu.com/shop/sandra-brandst%C3%A4tter-and-matthias-kirschner-and-petter-reinholdtsen-and-henrik-g-sund/ada-og-zangemann/paperback/product-zmr289r.html?page=1&pageSize=4). **Tuesday** Tuesday through Thursday I participated in the workers' union+political gathering of the youth committee of the (Nordland county local of) the [Norwegian Trade Union Confederation](https://www.lo.no/hvem-vi-er/regioner/vestfold-og-telemark/ung-i-lo/). We were 13 young unionized workers (+ a youth politician from [Young Workers' Party](https://auf.no/)) from the north, getting to know the central structures of the workers' movement we're part of. Very exciting, very learning, empowering and fun. Participants represented these workers' unions' youth committees: [Fagforbundet](https://fagforbundet.no/ung), [Fellesforbundet](https://www.fellesforbundet.no/om-fellesforbundet/fellesforbundet-ungdom), [Handel og Kontor](https://hk.no/hkung) and [Styrke](https://ung.styrke.no) (me). Before the gathering began on Tuesday I met with folks of these orgs: - @attacnorge@snabelen.no - workers' union elogit.no During the gathering, we visited norwegian parliament and met with several representatives to parliament, from the social democratic [workers' party](https://www.arbeiderpartiet.no/).

**Wednesday** Together the committee of unionized young workers visited [Utøya](https://utoya.no/), an immensely important island for the workers' movement in Norway. The annual youth summer camp of the [Workers' Party Youth](https://auf.no/) has been held there since the 70's. In 2011, a right-wing terrorist attacked the government quarter in Oslo, killing 8 people, and soon after attacked the gathering of >500 politically active youth on the island, killing 69 youth and staff. [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks). The island has now been reclaimed by the workers' movement. In 2015 AUF held the first youth summer camp there since the terrorist attack, with 1500 participants (almost 3x the number of participants in 2011) In addition to the many summer camps of various leftist youth organizations held there since, the island has become a centre for furthering democracy and democratic participation; seeing 17 000 visitors in 2025. Most of them school kids on organized trips to the island. The folks of Utøya Centre and I discussed digital sovereignty for organizations and folks, at length. They're stoked about the concept of people forming "digital services hosting co-ops/collectives", like datakollektivet.no. #utoya #democracy #digitalSovereignty #digitalSovereigntyCollective #norway #antifascism
