This happens during the event
Here is a short description of what you will be doing during the event:
- Brief at the start
- Attending the stand handing out water and something to eat to the students
- Go on Faddervakt-rounds in groups with other volunteers
- Be available to chat with students that might need it
- Help make new students feel welcome in the city
The Faddervakt-event is inspired by similar initiatives in Bergen, Agder and Trondheim, as well as the Lykkepromille projects. We want to be visible and present, and to show that we care.
The semesterstart weeks are sometimes criticized for alcohol use in social settings. Through the Faddervakt-event we want to help ensure that new students have a good experience this weekend.
Faddervakt is voluntary and is aimed at students and employees at higher education institutions who want to help make the start of their studies a safe and good experience for new students, and others who are out in the city.
