Lecture by Kai Eide

2018-10-16T09:31:25+01:00June 7th, 2018|

Kai Eide, former Norwegian politician and diplomat, was invited to give the 2018 Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Pillar Lecture at UWC RCN on Wednesday 6th June. He chose the title of ‘The Changing Balance of Power and other Challenges to our Order’ and gave a stimulating and thought-provoking presentation to an auditorium of students, staff and trainees from Framtidsfylket. He finished with encouragement to defenders of globalism to participate in ongoing debate and to take up the challenge against tribalism in its different forms.

Mr Eide took the opportunity to attend first years classes in Global Politics and Philosophy – and this afternoon attended the formal opening of the Baking House.

We look forward to welcoming him back to RCN in the future.

World Environment Day picnic

Mia Chamberlain and Andreas Randøy from “Nature and Youth” visited to celebrate World Environment Day with us. Nature and Youth is the biggest youth environmental organization in Norway and part of the global Friends of Earth organisation. They work for global causes by engaging in local issues – by fighting against oil drilling in Lofoten or dumping mining waste in the Førde fjord. Mia and Andreas gave a lecture about the organisation and helped our students to form an official Nature and Youth group. Olivier (Netherlands) was elected as leader and Mirandas (China) as deputy leader of Flekke Natur og Ungdom. The group is planning to develop and carry out projects in the college and recruit local youth. Madhulika Singh, Director of Extra-Academics and Judit Dudas, sustainability Team Leader also met Mia and Andreas to talk about the possible cooperation between Nature and Youth and the College. We crowned the day with sunny a picnic on the fjordside.
