Ruth Therese Brokstad, født 1983, vokste opp i naturskjønne Vesterålen og er nå bosatt i Tromsø. Ved siden av sin karriere som lege, dedikerer hun tid til å utforske og uttrykke sin kreative side gjennom kunst. Hun arbeider hovedsakelig med akvarell, grafikk og mixed media. Hennes kunst speiler en dyp lidenskap for farger, lys og livets valg. Som trebarnsmor finner hun inspirasjon i Nord-Norges dramatiske natur - fra de fortryllende fargene i polarnatten, til midnattssolens evige lys. Disse unike omgivelsene påvirker og nærer hennes kunstneriske prosess. Gjennom sine verk ønsker hun å invitere betrakteren til refleksjon og oppdage de små gnistene av glede i hverdagen. Målet er å skape kunst som berører og inspirerer. I januar stilte hun ut i anerkjente Galleri Krane i Tromsø, og bildene solgte godt. Nå setter hun opp utstillingen Sparkling saturday på Sortland, som er hennes hjemkommune. En god venninne inviterte henne til å komme og hun valgte å si ja. Jeg gleder meg veldig, sier hun inspirert. Utstillingen er en feiring av liv, farger og gleden ved å skape rom for det som virkelig betyr noe.

The Arctic is changing more rapidly than anywhere else on earth due to climate change, and this is profoundly impacting the people that live in and depend on the ecosystems in these cold regions. In Season 7, Episode 13, host Sarah Thorne and cohost Jeff King, National Lead of the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Program, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), welcome back Laura Wendling, Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Community in Trondheim, Norway. We continue our conversation on how innovative nature-based solutions (NBS) are being used in cold regions. After recording Episode 12, Laura was headed to the Gaia Arctic Summit held in Vesterålen in Northern Norway. The summit focused on how to accelerate the transition to climate resilience in the Arctic. She returned inspired: “It was fabulous from start to finish. The landscape there is absolutely stunning, and I think seeing it really brought home how important it is that we protect this beautiful area and the people who live there.” The summit brought together people from policy, finance, business, research and innovation, and public administration. “The main message for me is the need to collaborate across disciplines in how we work every day—not just having a meeting once a year but how we work in our daily life and how we plan things.”Laura goes on to discuss the policies, challenges, and opportunities for advancing NBS in cold regions and some of the efforts going on in Europe. She notes that there is strong explicit support for NBS within the European Green Deal and associated strategies such as the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030—policies designed to set goals to deliver on international commitments. One of the challenges that Laura notes is aligning policy at various levels, from the high-level European national policies to those on the ground at the local level. Jeff notes a similar challenge in the US: “Even those individuals or organizations that are receptive to the idea of NBS still have their own set of policies, rules, or regulations that they must adhere to and sometimes those can be contrary to the overall goal of integrating NBS into a landscape. We must find that common ground and be able to highlight the value of NBS and what that means for local economies, sustainability, and resilience.”Laura also notes challenges in valuing NBS and making trade-offs are particularly evident in the Arctic. “Where we see the sea ice dissolving and opening up new transport routes and revealing previously unknown mineral resources, there are all sorts of development possibilities. How do we ensure that the Arctic is developing in a way that's consistent with the needs and desires of the local populations?”Looking forward, Jeff highlights the ongoing work at ERDC's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. “We are continuing to prioritize NBS and look for opportunities to integrate NBS concepts and projects into our Arctic communities. International collaboration is something that I want to see EWN continue to support.” Laura agrees with this effort and has a call to action for listeners: “I would ask everybody listening—our global community—to think about a consolidated action plan to engage the full range of stakeholders and move across borders to address the issues of climate change because climate change doesn't stop at borders. We all have to work together. Only global action is going to have the outcome that we all need.”We hope you enjoy our final Season 7 episodes on NBS in cold regions with Laura Wendling. Season 8 kicks off in September.

Nyksund er et fiskevær i Øksnes kommune i Nordland. Stedet ligger nord på Langøya, ei drøy mil nord for Myre.Inghild Karlsens skulptur Etterbilder, som er en del av Skulpturlandskap Nordland, består av et punkt i Nyksund og et i kommunesenteret Myre.Bebyggelsen i Nyksund er spredt på to øyer, Nyksundøya og Ungsmaløya. Disse øyene er forbundet med en 65 meter lang molo. En molo forbinder også Nyksundøya med Langøya. En kommunal grusvei går mellom Nyksund og Høydalen, og derfra asfaltvei (fylkesvei 938) inn til Myre.Nyksund var på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet det nest største fiskeværet i Vesterålen. Nærheten til fiskefeltene utenfor Vesterålen gjorde stedet til et attraktivt fiskevær. Men etter 2. verdenskrig ble nærheten til fiskefeltene mindre viktig, da ny teknologi i form av motorer og større båter ble tatt i bruk. Havna i Nyksund ble for lita, og tettstedet Myre tok over som viktigste havn i området. Fiskeværet ble avfolket, og etter at de siste fastboende hadde fått fraflyttingstilskudd fra staten, var Nyksund helt fraflyttet rundt 1970. Nyksund ble en spøkelsesby. I 1980- og 90-årene kom tyske studenter til Nyksund, og skapte ny aktivitet på stedet. Etter hvert ble stedet populært for tilreisende kunstnere og turister. I dag har Nyksund noen få fastboende og et helårlig tilbud til turister. Flere av de gamle bryggene i fiskeværet er pusset opp av kunstnere og reiselivsbedrifter. Teksten er hentet fra Wikipedia.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Leif Petersen, CEO und Founder von Hologate, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 8,3 Millionen Euro.Hologate entwickelt innovative Extended-Reality-Lösungen für Entertainment und Enterprise. Das Startup für XR-Lösungen hat nach eigenen Angaben eine beeindruckende Erfolgsbilanz als weltweit größtes standortbasiertes VR-Netzwerk, das 42 Länder und über 450 Standorte umfasst. Hologate wurde im Jahr 2013 von Leif Petersen in München gegründet. Seit dem Start hat das Unternehmen über 18 Millionen Spielerinnen und Spieler mit einer Reihe von interaktiven und immersiven Unterhaltungsprodukten und Blockbuster-IPs wie beispielsweise Ghostbusters und Angry Birds erreicht. Im Jahr 2020 führte das Startup mit HGXR einen neuen Geschäftsbereich ein, der sich auf Schulungs- und Simulationslösungen für Unternehmen konzentriert. Hologate kann so sein Fachwissen in Bezug auf die technischen und gestalterischen Entwicklungen von XR nutzen und sein Produktportfolio auf den Unternehmenssektor ausweiten. VR-Lernende sind laut Studien konzentrierter, lernen schneller und haben mehr Selbstvertrauen, wenn sie die neu erworbenen Fähigkeiten nach dem Training in realen Szenarien anwenden. Einflussreiche Organisationen wie die deutsche Armee, die Polizei, das Fraunhofer Institut und MBDA vertrauen bereits auf die immersive Lösung. Mit effizienten und effektiven End-to-End-XR-Lösungen stellt HGXR hyperrealistische Szenarien wie beispielsweise den Nahkampf oder das Polizeitraining in sicheren virtuellen Umgebungen nach, sodass Fachleute jede reale Situation, einschließlich risikoreicher Szenarien, trainieren und hocheffektive Learning-by-Doing-Erfahrungen machen können. Die kompakten und mobilen Lösungen von HGXR verwandeln jeden Raum in einen dynamischen virtuellen Trainingsraum, der auf die spezifischen Bedürfnisse jedes Kunden zugeschnitten ist.In einer Series A hat das Münchner Unternehmen nun 8,3 Millionen Euro unter der Führung von den neuen Investoren Bolero Holdings und Vester Partners eingesammelt. Außerdem haben sich bestehende Kapitalgeber, wie beispielsweise die europäische Frühphasen-Venture-Capital-Gesellschaft Cherry Ventures, an der Runde beteiligt. Das frische Kapital wird für die Erschließung neuer Märkte, die Entwicklung neuer Produkte und die Beschleunigung des Wachstums eingesetzt werden.

NGO Soul + Strategy

SummaryDo you work in a large NGO or UN agency, and wonder how the heck you are supposed to stimulate innovations in such a sizable, potentially quite bureaucratic organization?Do you assume that organization size and structure matter when it comes to creating a good climate for innovation?And is lack of innovation funds as big an issue as we make it out to be?In this podcast episode, I interview Soren Vester Haldrup, Innovation Fund Manager at UNDP, on how to kindle innovation in large development agencies. Many people associate 'innovative culture' with small start ups, but there is not necessarily a link between the two. Soren's Bio:Innovation Specialist and Fund Manager, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)Board Member, Global IntegritySenior Consultant, Oxford Policy Management Policy Analyst, UNDP We discuss: How and why UNDP's approach to innovation transitioned from a focus on going after small, project-size innovations to a portfolio  approach of larger-scale innovations that aim to address system-level challenges and multi-faceted ‘wicked issues' that only groups of actors can addressToo many innovations are solutions looking for a problem; stay focused on the problem longer!Perhaps counter-intuitively (at least for me), not all solutions need to be pursued, as scale is not always good for wicked issues. Rather, UNDP uses an innovation funnel model, in which many innovations are expected to fail fast. But getting to that one solution that can be scaled is not always the solutionYou need buy-in from leadership at the right time and interest, engagement and encouragement from the grassrootsUNDP uses 'deep demonstrations', instead of scaling. It also aims to create demand for innovations on the side of peers, primary constituents, and fundersA leadership mindset of humility and comfort with uncertainty is not always present across culturesHuman inertia may be present more strongly in large organizations because they've been around for a long time. And the number of approvals needed in such organizations is typically significant. On the other hand, in small organizations, groupthink can be more prevalentAvailability of money is an issue, but the flexibility of money is a bigger issueInnovation is both about small tweaks to existing solutions as well as big breakthroughs to overcome system-wide issues Resources:Soren's TwitterSoren's LinkedInMedium BlogUNDP blog on innovations Youtube video of this podcastClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: Twitter LinkedIn Fa
