FK day 5: Digital Story telling


It was not cloudy around here. But we could see clouds on distance. They were wandering around mountains. like some floating cotton.

We got t-shirts & bags from FK.. yooowhooooo…… :) per einar with Fredel with Marcus & Nabhal

‘Birgitte Wergeland’ – seems a bit tough name to me. She is today's course coordinator. She trains digital story telling, Making a video presentation of photographs and music, transitions.


Me, Camilla & Rosa – this is the team. We are from 3 different continent. We decided to show some comparative things.. like marriage in 3 different countries. we selected photos of marriage, Rosa picked photos of her marriage party, some melodious songs. Then its job for a “techy” guy to put them together – well, its me :P

FK day 3

Our third day in fk starts with a refreshing muzc from svein, Ola and Camilla. That was a Norwegian morning instrumental.


Svein is really into music. He has researches on music and does workshop on music of different culture. He is going to work in Nepal. He does yoga. And he thinks it helps him doing his work in muzc.

We had a researcher among us from University of Oslo. He shared us with ideas related to poverty and development. I think its his research Area. It was much interactive but i was really into this thing. And he was talking about poverty in places like norwegian face poverty. But i dont think norwegian poverty is not we really mean by poverty, what we really struggle to solve.


It seemed like a long day.

 

Here is sonveig. She is a scientist. Got specialty in Gene related stuff. She’s going to work in zambia. Both norway and zambia have laws against gene modified food import. They are against changing what the nature have for us. But that’s not the case we have our country. We need to do more research on development of good genre of crops.

We started our activities in two teams 29 each.

We've got Henrick as our course coordinator. Here is another coordinator Peter who was with other team. We are in a big room. People from different places.. anzania, Nepal, Norway, South Africa, Kenya..

So, what to start with, we started with tagging ourselves :) we put name labels on our jackets. we tried to get introduced with all the people. could not remember all the people. How to remember??? lets draw some faces.. Thats what we tried to do? And the outcome was portrait of some devil like things :P

We had to form some activity group. I was confused which group to join? News group and Sports group seemed interesting but i could not decide. It was late. Henrick put me in International party. Yeah we have interesting people in International party group.. Ola, Evin, some other people and definitely Ola's baby boy :P
