Geir Jørgen Bekkevold – New Chair of our Board

Lasse Markus2020-05-05T08:44:41+01:00May 5th, 2020|

At the Council Meeting, hosted electronically this weekend, new Chairs were elected for our Board and Council. We are pleased to welcome Geir Jørgen Bekkevold as the new Chair of our Board. He is a Norwegian politician representing the Christian Democratic Party in his 3^rd period in the Parliament. Since Jan 2019 Mr Bekkevold has been the leader of the Health Committee in the Norwegian Parliament and 2^nd parliamentary leader for his party. He enters the position with a strong affinity to the values of the UWC and the Red Cross.

Frants Bernstorff-Gyldensteen is elected as the new Chair of our Council. He is a former politician, being Mayor of Bogense Municipality 1990-1997. Mr Bernstorff served on our Board from 1993 to 2003 and for the International Board of the UWC movement from 2006 to 2014.

We would also like to use this opportunity to thank Kristin Vinje and Pär Stenbäck for the remarkable job they both have done in serving as our Chairs.

A couple of weeks after grad, I started working on full time in Oslo in the national committee for Operation Day’s Work (ODW). I missed the fjord, my roommates and basically everything about RCN, but I think I am sort of used to live in a city now. In the committee we did a lot of fun work, but the best part was the visit from two young people from DR Congo. They both work in the mines close to their village, and they visited our summer camp to talk about their situation and help us create the ODW2019 campaign.

In December I was elected as the new leader of ODW, and 2nd of March the project for 2020 will be elected by Norwegian students. The work has already started, and it is very interesting, both to get more insight in ODW, the different networks that we are a part of (for example Global Campaign for Education) and to get real work experience. I am also responsible for the new national committee as they are all new to the work. It has been so nice to get to know them so far, and we are all very excited for the project, the seminars and all of the work.

Except of ODW I read and draw a lot, and try to not miss RCN too much.
