Monday 01.02.2016:
We represent a group of individuals who … startet a web page for exchange of ideas regarding social activities. Anybody
can suggest activities that we will consider showing on the web page. The basic idea is simple: Society is in constant change - communities, groups
and individuals are increasingly part of and influenced by globalization. If many individuals pitch in a little to help other individuals and include new
participants in activities - we will enhance our democratic values for a healthy, meaningful community and improve the everyday life of each other.
Our webpage is here - currently in Norwegian only: http://neti.no/dugnad-nytt/

Brita Fladvad Nielsen, Bergens Tidende (27.01.16) points out the problem relating to refugees:
political decisions not aligned with -> human needs
She suggests redesigning the political system handling refugees - listen to human needs - bottoms-up policies rather than the current top-down - involve local interest groups
As an example, she names the US Emergency management agency (FEMA) that had to be redisigned after the Catrina storm
