Finding home Workshop for NTNU temporary scientific employees (DION – Trondheim)

Fereshteh Mirjalili / / Events, Trondheim

“Make yourself at home” is a common expression we often hear when we’re visiting someone’s place. It is an invitation to feel comfortable. It opens up another way of looking at home: home is a feeling we can create in the present moment.

For many migrants, the departure from home results in an admirable effort to rebuild familiarity and comfort in the host country. Our perceptions of home(s) change from one experience to another. Is home a place, a feeling, a person, a language, or a memory? How do we feel belonged again when home sometimes feels like the missing piece of a puzzle?

Welcome to Finding Home workshop, where we share stories and create an atmosphere of home through zine-making. You can make your own personal “zine” with your chosen content. Whether you like writing, drawing, painting, or any other forms for self-expression on paper, zines are low-stakes and welcome creators of all backgrounds and life experiences. You can use the space of a zine to express your feelings about home, your languages, identities, beliefs and memories. At the end of the workshop, you can bring home your handmade zine as a gift for yourself or for someone you hold dear.

This workshop is free for all participants. No prior knowledge or art experience needed. All materials for making zines will be provided. Feel free to bring along photos, letters, poems, magazines, postcards, or any sentimental pieces that you’d like to put in your zine.

Finding Home workshop is a project started by Minh Chau in 2019 and funded with support from Litteraturhuset’s program Litteratur for inkludering. Minh Chau holds an M.A. in English literature and works in the arts and culture sector in Trondheim. Experience of moving to Norway from Vietnam has inspired her to design a space for self-expression and stories about home despite language and cultural differences.

This workshop event is a collaboration between Minh Chau, Litteraturhuset’s program Litteratur for inkludering, and DION.

When: 16. November 2022, 16:00-18:00

Where: Høgskoleringen 3 (P15), floor 5, campus NTNU Gløshaugen

Tekna NTNU and DION invite all PhD candidates, postdocs and others with a temporary employment at NTNU to a free seminar on November 24, 15:00–18:00 in K105 in the Kobolt building. We will enlighten you on all the tips and tricks of being employed here at NTNU, the benefits and challenges. The seminar program is as follows:

  • Working in Norway – how does the Norwegian Model work, and why are unions so important here?
  • How to be temporarily employed – does it differ from other employment? What are my rights? Can I negotiate my salary? A representative from Tekna will tell you some of what you need to know about working in Norway in general, and the university sector in specific.
  • DION – who are we and what can we do for you
  • Tekna NTNU – who are we and how can we help you

Simple food will be served at the seminar; and we need to know how many will participate. Please sign up using the below registration link if you have the opportunity to participate:
