Amanda Anvar

student
A 17 year old activist. She is involved in everything from her local community Holmlia, to topics such as hate speech, school politics, mental health, queer topics and feminism. As you might have already guessed, she is highly passionate about a lot of topics.

Ask Aleksi Berglund

Deputy political leader
A self proclaimed expert on being openly queer in the media and definitely not an expert on how to not look at the sometimes dreaded facebook comments section. With years of experience as a queer activist, educator and community creator, it might not be a surprise that queer rights is the issue closest to their heart, with a focus on transgender youth, and their right to live good lives as themselves, without fear.

Camilla Salas-Gulliksen

Student
The multicultural feminist has spent years contemplating and investigating her own lack of self-esteem, and realized that she needed to change the way she viewed body positivity and beauty standards.

Irene Kinunda Afriyie

Teacher
She performed a song together with the ensemble Fargespill at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2018 to honour laureate Denis Mukwege. The performance was about Irene's story of reconciliation. She sang the enemy's song, in the language of the men who killed her father.

Sophia Adampour

Student
She was only 13 years old when she was on national TV discussing terrorism after the attacks on July 22nd. Since then, she has had a burning desire for speaking up about injustice in this world. The latest, and most important matter closest to her heart is a nuclear weapon free world.
