NTNU flagger på Kvenfolkets dag på søndag, og Khrono intervjuet min datter, som bl.a. sier "Jeg håper at andre utdanningsinstitusjoner i Norge følger NTNUs eksempel". Det ville vært fint å se kvenflagget på UiO også!

"There are too few #Kven translators to meet the increased demand for Kven-language material. Soon, a new translation course may make Aili Eriksen's everyday life easier".

Nytt studium kan være løsningen på den store mangelen på kvenske oversettere

Det finnes for få kvenske oversettere til å møte den økte etterspørselen etter kvenskspråklig materiale. Snart kan et nytt studietilbud gjøre Aili Eriksens hverdag lettere.
