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.

«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);

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.

Free us from «the contagion» Terrorism and freedom of speech in the media – what about the «contagious effect»?
When terror strikes the world, newspapers are filled with stories about extremism. Experts are called in from universities and the media. This brings more terror, followed by even more news stories. They talk constantly about not succumbing to terrorism, but no one talks about “the contagious effect” that can attract “lone wolves”. Can extreme focus on extremism cause “normal” people to become terrorists because of their need for attention or because they see that terror actually works? Should the media treat these cases like suicide, with silence? Morten Horn, doctor and humanist John Olav Egeland, commentator, Dagbladet Vebjørn Selbekk, editor, Dagen Trond Henry Blattmann, experienced terrorism firsthand Geir Lippestad,
