On 5 November, Steatornis arranged a lecture in collaboration with Studentenes og Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond (SAIH) Trøndelag and NHfU Trøndelag. The lecture was called Disabilities and Opportunities in Higher Education and was held at NTNU Dragvoll. It showed up 12 people. Speaker Martine Eliasson talked about inclusive education, speaker Thomas Tajo lectured on opportunities and the responsibilities of disabled people.
Steatornis has initiated a collaboration with Norges Handikappforbund Ungdom Trøndelag to have free and low-threshold art evenings. The art evenings are held at NHfU Trøndelag's locations on the 3rd floor of Sirkus Shopping. The events are open to everyone. The purpose of these evenings is to create a meeting place for our members and use art expression as a tool in the fight for equality. We have had 4 art evenings during this period.
The board invited to go to the exhibition "A beast, a god and a line" to investigate the availability of a general art exhibition. Briefly, we found that works of art are mostly presented in a visual way. The premises in which the art is presented also have a lot to say for the experience.
Steatornis is part of the Balansekunst project. This means that we are part of a collaboration between over 80 Norwegian art and cultural organizations that work for an equal and diverse cultural life.
Steatornis is planning an art festival in Trondheim August 15-16. The venue is Jacobsen og Svart at Powerhouse in Brattøra. Here the organization collaborates with artist and filmmaker Mina Paasche, architecture student Jasmin Grohmann and associate Amanda Fayant.
Steatornis is registered in the Brønnøysund Register Centre and the Voluntary Register.
Steatornis has 6 members during this period.
During this period, Kristian Smevåg-Olsen has been responsible for graphics.
The universally designed website is under development. Steatornis has created 2 domains: steatorn.is and steatornis.no in the domeneshop.
Steatornis is present in social media.
The income during the period has been the membership fees. The organisation has established its own bank account at Sparebank 1 SNM and Vipps. We have wireless card terminal through iZettle. The organization is a grassroots beneficiary.
The accounts are attached as attachments.
Sincerely
Steatornis' Board of Directors
