It is not easy to discuss poverty in the wealthiest corner of the world. The Norwegian population wishes to distribute wealth equally, yet inequality steadily increases? The rich become richer, and the upper middleclass keeps the pace. The remainder of the population lags further and further behind. Panelists: Steinar Westin, professor in social medicine Johanna Engen, CEO, Welfare Alliance Daniel Suhonen, Swedish editor in chief, debater, author and social democrat Trine Skei Grande, party leader, Liberal Party Christian Tybring-Gjedde, government representative, Progress Party Linda Tånevik, doctor and missionary Moderator: Trygve Wille Jordheim Musical performance: Julie Gibb (CAN) ( 150,-) Program host (from the festival); Kick Cafe, Dronningens gate 19:30 PROTEST FESTIVAL ACTION NIGHT AGAINST INTERNATIONAL POVERTY AND INEQUALITY Awarding of the Erik Bye memorial award. Not since the second world war have so many people been displaced. They flee mostly from war and conflict in poor countries. But a large majority does not end up in rich countries. Nearly nine out of ten refugees that cross international borders end up in poor countries. This is a sharp increase from ten years ago, when the poor countries took in “only” 70 percent of the world’s refugees. The poor become poorer and the rich become richer. What does this mean for achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals? 1. Halve extreme poverty 2. Achieve universal primary education. 3. Promote gender equality. 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve maternal health. 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases. 7. Halve the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water. 8. Develop a global partnership for development. Festival speech: Steinar Westin Speech for the prize recipiant: Kjell Magne Bondevik Acceptance speech: Bob Geldof Musical tribute: Julie Gibb. Hawk Christensen, Rita Eriksen Other contributers: Rune Edvardsen Program leader: Tina Sødal, Strømmestiftelsen Thursday 17 September – «Det er synd at slike arma sku rotne i mollinn» - Setesdalskjempa Bjørgulv Uppstad (1789-1866) Triztan-Teltet 13:00 Death cafe (Repeat of last year’s success) Theme: Should we burn or rot? Conversation with Hans-Christian Vadseth and Tone Martha Sødal, married couple with differing opinions Moderator: Sylfest Lomheim Most people who die in Oslo are cremated. Most people who die in southern Norway are buried. A man from northwestern Norway was married to a woman from Kristiansand. He wished to be cremated, she wished to be buried. Skepticism in southern Norway surrounding cremation can stem from the myths that Christians must not be burned. How true are these myths? Is there any biblical foundation for them? Musical performance: Æ Program host (from the festival); Håndverkeren 17:30 MINI CONCERT: Æ Artist and songwriter from Træna (northern Norway) who has toured as an opening act for Stefan Sundström. Håndverkeren 18:00 DISCUSSION: From oil wealth to national poverty or necessary equalisation in an unequal society? Does our abundant and unequal society need a crisis such as the oil crisis? Or is it the beginning of a downward spiral like we saw at the end of the 1980s? Will we soon see scenarios where families must sell their house, be unable to afford day care, possibly be forced to get rid of their car and go from middleclass wealth to fighting for survival? How can society handle this? Note: National Oilwell Varco declined to participate in this debate. Panelists: John Olav Egeland, commentator, Dagbladet Elisabeth Engemyr, CEO, NAV Kristiansand Hans Herlof Grelland, philosopher Ellen Kongsnes, energy journalist, Aftenbladet (Stavanger) Mette Gundersen, candidate for mayor, Labour Party Maria Reinertsen, economist, journalist for Morgenbladet and author of, among other publications, Ligningen for lykke.
