In addition to running a community workshop to understand more about what might prevent someone in Båtsfjord from attending local social activities and clubs, I spent my time getting to know the wonderful residents and the local social and cultural infrastructure. There is so much space and beautiful design - the new school, the viewing cabins in beauty spots, the church and the creative shops were all enlightening. I imagine the dark winter months when the existing play parks are under snow must be challenging!

The sauna is finished! Well done to the Design in Context Team NTNU - Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet Vestre Varanger Bygdevekst Paul Kerlaff. Can’t wait to come back and work with you all again and to get to know more of the wonderful people and places of Finnmark. Looking forward to seeing how the local residents of Båtsfjord make this wonderful piece of ‘common internet infrastructure’ their own.

Nausea alert! After 31 years together, 22 years of marriage and 3 children, and I had our first work collaboration in Norway. I found out he’s actually REALLY good as a designer educator as well as an amazing furniture maker. (He’s a pretty nice human being too). Who knew?? 😉 He led the students in a beautiful mediation before leading his ‘sketching in space’ activity co-created with colleagues and which involved the students working to create a sculptural structure representing ‘community’ Lucky students!
