Firstly, let me give a short introduction of myself. My name is Sara Margrethe Oskal, and I am a Sami from Guovdageaidnu/ Kautokeino municipality in Norway. Recently the Sami Parliament of Norway employed me as a Project Assistant for Alta 2013, to work on the cultural program for the International Preparatory Indigenous Peoples Conference in Alta 2013 (Alta Conference). This is a task I really look forward to take care of.
The Sami Parliament has started the planning of the cultural program for the Alta Conference. At this point we would like to map any interest among indigenous peoples in the various regions, in contributing in any of the cultural events in Alta.
The conference hall has its limitations which we, and any cultural events performers, need to take into account when considering cultural events included in the conference program:
-
We need to underline that any cultural events and artistically performances cannot require any advanced technical requirements. What the conference hall can offer of equipment/facilities for performers is basically only a microphone and a stage.
- Also there is a need to put a time limit on any contribution, and we kindly encourage any cultural or artistically events not to be longer than 6 minutes.
Also we need to stress that cultural contributions are considered as voluntary work, and the organizers of the conference is not in a position to cover any costs, including salary, traveling costs or other related costs.
If you are interested in contributing during planned cultural events during the Alta Conference, please let me know as soon as possible, and no later than 4th April 2013. If you require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My email address:sara.margr...@samediggi.no
