Scholarship holder - 2nd year student

Hello!

My name is Mads and I come from Ski. I went to SEA in Ifjord and I am so lucky that I will be a stip at SEA this year.

I love things that have to do with speed. Slalom/snowboarding, cycling, skating, etc. At school I learned to surf, which I also thought was really fun.

I am extremely excited about this year, I can't wait to meet you and get to know you. I hope I can also help make your year as good as possible so that you can have as good a year as I had.

Hope we can have a wonderful year together!

Greetings, Mads.

Hey! 

My name is Andrea and I come from Oslo, I did Challenge Expløore last year, and of course I'm also going to be a part of Challenge!

I like to do a lot of different things and try out most of the fun things. I LOVE bathing and almost always take a bath if there is water nearby… because as Challenge’s wise teacher once said: »No one ever regrets a bath!” I also have an above-average love for sleeping outside, traveling, seeing rare sights and meeting new people. That’s why I have had a great time at Challenge Explore!

The year at Bakketun has meant an incredible amount to me and it has been a place where I have experienced that both I and those around me have truly blossomed! One year was not enough and in addition I wanted to help give new students an equally fantastic year as I have had! And if possible…. even better)

If there's anything you're wondering about or just want to get to know us better, just send us a message about anything! 💗

Hello!

My name is Trym and I come from a small place called Skiptvet. I am energetic and like to help anyone in need. I am also a person that anyone can talk to about anything they can think of. I am really looking forward to being a research fellow at Bakketun next school year!

I wanted to be a stipendiary to help students make the school year a little more fun, and to make my stipendiary friends proud of the job they have done in helping me.

Many greetings from Trym 🙂

Hello!

My name is Maja, I'm 20 years old and I come from Ulefoss – a small but charming town right near Bø in Telemark.  I have been at Bakketun for 1.5 years – first at the Art Department, and then at Gaming Aktiv. In the fall, I will be a research fellow at the Music Department, and I am really looking forward to it!

In my free time, you can usually find me with my clarinet in hand, on a Red Cross mission or deeply focused on a puzzle with a few too many pieces. I love to travel and rarely say no to a spontaneous trip – as long as my finances cooperate. (Empty savings account + wanderlust = lots of creative planning and cheap packed lunches on the road!)✈️

After 1.5 eventful years at Bakketun, filled with good friends, new experiences and some surprisingly good dinners in the dining hall, I feel like I want to give something back. I applied for a fellowship because I want to help others have an even better year than I have had. I am looking forward to being a supporter, part of the community and taking on new challenges – especially in a completely new field where I get to try something a little different. And last but not least: enjoying life while I can!

Feel free to get in touch to have a chat!

See you in the fall. 💛

Hello!

My name is Emilia, I'm 19 years old and a bit of a Polish/Norwegian/Kiwi mix, but I live in Gjøvik now.

I like a lot of different things, love making things in all kinds of ways, drawing, listening to music and chilling, playing board games. I'm also a big fan of moving around, and I think it's really fun to be active.

The year at Bakketun has been the best I have ever experienced, and I especially find the community at the school to be so valuable and supportive. I looked up to my classmates and how they helped create such a warm and inclusive environment at the school. And I want to continue to contribute to that for the next Bakketun students.

And getting to do more ceramics and go on trips is a big bonus (hehe!)

Many greetings from Emilia 🙂

Hello, hello!

My name is Anne Eline, I'm 18 years old and I come from Verdal – a place with both beautiful mountains and people who say "ooooh – it's far, yeah" about anything over 10 minutes. I love being active, and preferably with a high pulse! I run, ski, do strength training and rarely say no to a new challenge.

If I had to describe myself in three words? Determined, energetic and excited! I'm the type of person who starts the day with a run, and ends it by planning the next one.

Why I want to be a stip? Because I want to help make your year as good as possible. I love being a person people can come to – whether it's for a chat, an impulsive jog, or a round of Ligretto. I'm passionate about community, and I hope I can help build a place where we cheer each other on and have fun together!

I'm really looking forward to meeting you - and hope we have a year filled with laughter, challenges and magical moments!

We're talking!!
