In this conversation
She tells us about her life between two countries, two languages and two ways of living.
We talk about her return to Norway, a later culture shock in Trondheim, her “old-fashioned” Norwegian, Oslo’s French school, the russ school-leaving tradition, university and the Norwegian education system. And what changes when you build a life between France and Norway.
A funny, intimate and down-to-earth conversation about identity, settling in and everyday life across cultures.
