3. You may have seen these announcements a couple of weeks ago…

4. To keep it brief…
We received 392,000 NOK to run a pretty awesome project later this year

5. How did we apply? Use the LNU ‘Aktivitetsstøtta’ fund
Submitting our application before the November 15st deadline
Putting together a 10+ page application, worked on primarily between the UDO, OC and our short term intern Sidone Gindre from UiO
Approximately 3 weeks planning and drafting the application together

6. What is it?
Four regional summits events taking place over September – October 2019
1 – 2 day workshop events focused on Norwegian society, the ‘Nordic Model’ and understanding the role international students can play in this
Multiple stakeholders and partners to be involved: academics, student organisations, community groups, local & national ISU branches

7. Where did the idea come from?
We wanted to reactivate / reinvigorate the Regional Cooperation Groups – RCGs
Replace the Kick Off event as the start to the new academic year
Find ways to engage with our stakeholders in the wider community
Improve our understanding of Norwegian society
So that international students can be better represented

8. What we will be doing over the coming months

11. Where we need your help Break into your RCG groups
Discuss what groups / organisations / academics / others who you think would be useful to invite to the Regional Summit
Can one branch in your group volunteer to be the host? This will help us to plan (think of logistics, travel, accommodation etc)
And what dates you would prefer: September 13th, 20th, 27th and October 4th (Friday)
How can you cooperate to plan (with the National Board) regionally?
Hint: try Asana!
