1. The week starts with a grand event, the 17th of May, but what to do with the rest of the week? How about attending a book launch! On tuesday at 4PM in Auditorium 2 of Georg Sverdrups Hus, the university's own publishing house launches the book "Poverty and Elusive Development".

2. Also on tuesday, "Studentenes Fotoklub" screens a movie on the famous war photographer James Nachtwey. For James Nachtwey taking pictures was more than documentation, it was about influencing people and politics.

The movie, titled "War Photographer", won 16 awards and was nominated for both an Oscar and an Emmy. It will be shown in Lillesalen on Chateau Neuf at 7PM. The entrance is free-
3. The final event requires you to speak Norwegian. Or Spanish. But if you do it will be worth it.
