there are few students in the premises is due to the fact that we are a small municipality. We could perhaps have had larger classes and been more effective. The same applies to volunteering provides. We have many who are members of non-profit organizations, but it is limited how much a person can participate in, ” says Næss.
a Lot of Bykles kulturmidler has been used on sports. Næss says he thinks it may be part of the reason that they do not when the to the top of the kulturindeksen.
It is a debate we have to take about what kind of culture we should emphasize, ” he says.
