Wednesday January 29th 14:00 XR UiO will arrange their first action - a die-in in front of the University library, Georg Svedrups hus.

The aim of the action is to influence the long-time strategy for the university, which will be passed in February, to focus on climate in a much larger degree.

The universities play a major role in the formation of our society and our future, therefore the University of Oslo sits on a great potential. A green future needs green universities! The action is open to all and XR UiO hope that people who care about the cause will come to support and participate.

What will happen, what has been happening

The brainstorm about protesting oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight last Wednesday was successful! We mainly worked with three concrete actions against Eqinor. Next Wednesday the groups will meet again to continue planning. Join us!

In March Andreas Johnson will come to Norway. He is the principal of Holma Folkehøyskole in Skåne, where Sociocracy is practised as an organisational model. Andreas will hold a course about sociocracy for Extinction Rebellion and the permaculture association. The course in Oslo will be held at Bykuben. Sociocracy is similar to holocracy, which XR is based on.

This will be an important and exiting course. But to make it all happen we need volunteers to help organize it. Can you help? Please send an email to: FellesskapOslo@extinctionrebellion.no

Here is the overview of this week’s activities on Greenhouse, where we have our offices and meeting rooms. The address is: Schweigaards gate 34C .

Wednesday January 29th

16:00-17:00: Rebell kafé (room: Bruket, 1st. floor)

Here you can come to chill out after a long, hectic workday. If you are new in XR or are considering joining we will assist you and answer questions about who we are, what we do and how you can become active in the Oslo-group. Contact: FellesskapOslo@extinctionrebellion.no

17:00-19:00: Plan-meeting Equinor in Australia (room: Høna, 3rd. floor)

XRN XRN will be doing a series of coordinated actions and gatherings against Equinors oil-drilling in the Great Australian Bight together with XR Australia. We will continue the planning. Come join us to affect how these actions will be! Contact: FellesskapOslo@extinctionrebellion.no

17:00-19:00: Introcourse DNA (room: Jungelen, 5th. floor)

A mutual understanding of XRs principles and values – the movement’s DNA – will make it easier for us to coordinate and create solidarity across work groups, local groups and countries. This is how we can focus our powers to achieve our three demands. This is why we wish all new members welcome to this introductory course, which we call “the DNA course”. Contact: DNAOslo@extinctionrebellion.no

17:00-19:00: Open working space (rom: Hesten, 6th. floor)

In the open working space you can come work if you think it’s nicer to work with XR-stuff with others. Bring your own project or join a group. Regenerative culture and the action group is arranging. Contact: FellesskapOslo@extinctionrebellion.no

Remember the die-in at The University of Oslo, Wednesday January 29th. 14:00 !

You can join Extinction Rebellion Norway on our website , after which you will be contacted by us. We are facing high demand and only have a small group of volunteers to onboard new members, so it may take some time to process your registration.

As an active member of Extinction Rebellion you will receive the opportunity to make a difference which will be noticed. On our internal members forum, the Base, you will be able to find an overview of tasks one can work on. All such 'job postings' are published on the Base under the category NAV rebellion.
