What do I need to know about the corona vaccine?
Norway's population is now being offered corona vaccination. The vaccine is free and voluntary. Your home municipality is responsible for offering the vaccine, and it is the municipality that organises how it will take place. Information about vaccination can be found on your municipality's website. There you will find how the vaccination is organised locally, when and what priorities have been set.

Digital conference for sign language interpreters 13 January 2021
The physical conference has been cancelled and will be replaced by a digital conference. Haptic communication has become an important part of many people's lives. Those who receive signals are more numerous and so are those who practise them. On this day, we want to focus on what haptic communication has become both nationally and internationally. Since the situation with Covid-19 is here and prevents practical exercises, this time we are focusing on what haptic and tactile communication does to us as people. Both interpreter users, their carers and the interpreters themselves are affected by touch and close relationships.
Course information for spring 2021
