What should you bring to the conference?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You do not need to bring bed linen.

Here is a list of necessary or useful items to bring:

• proper clothing for one week’s stay, including long trousers, a warm sweater, a jacket (wind proof), rainwear (preferably trousers and jacket), good shoes for outdoor activities, sports clothing (shorts and t-shirt for football etc.), indoor shoes to wear at the Madla camp
• A small padlock for the room locker if you have
• An umbrella
• A national costume if you have one
• Personal hygiene articles
• Sunglasses and sunscreen
• Towels
• A little rucksack for daytrips/fieldtrips
• Paper and pens
• If you like, some small gifts to share with new friends. That could be stickers, photos or postcards from your home place, etc.
• A camera if you like (make sure to name it properly!)
• Pocket money: This should be very limited, and there will be very few opportunities to spend money during the conference. Chaperones, children and parents/guardians should agree on this matter, and organise a “banking” system for their group. You can pay by credit card at almost all shops – Visa and Mastercard are most widely used in Norway - and one can draw cash from cash machines. There is one at the University of Stavanger. There is also a bank at the airport (first floor).
• An adapter for electricity if necessary – the Norwegian voltage is 220V.
• Your travel insurance policy. Every child and chaperone must purchase their travel insurance prior to the trip!
