Cruise giant offers cash incentive to address overtourism

Norwegian cruise company Hurtigruten has introduced an "Open Village" initiative to address overtourism by offering sailings to smaller, remote villages. The programme aims to immerse visitors in the everyday life of three coastal villages: Træna, Bessaker, and Sæbø. Hurtigruten will contribute 250 Norwegian Krone, approximately £18, per guest directly to each community visited. These excursions are available on the company's smaller Signature Line Voyages during the summer period between May and September. The initiative seeks to provide a more meaningful travel experience while supporting local businesses and residents in small communities.

Clarets appoint Fjlelde as set-piece coach

Burnley have confirmed the appointment of Pal Fjelde as a set-piece coach. Fjelde has previously worked at clubs in his native Norway, including Bryne, Viking, and Staal. He has also worked as a set-piece coach for the Norway Football Federation. "I'm very excited. It's a huge opportunity and I'm really happy to have the trust of the manager and from the club," Fjelde said. "I think more and more clubs see the importance of set-pieces and how crucial they can be in matches, so it's important to emphasise and put the work in on them."

‘Folktales' Review: Young Adults Mushing Forward

'I think to be a young woman is chaos. There is no other word for things,' notes Hege, a 19-year-old Norwegian who, like many others her age these days, seems to be searching for something she can't quite identify or even envision. In the beguiling and touching documentary 'Folktales,' we observe that, if anything, to be a young man is even more challenging than being a woman. 'I'm nice, but then again I'm kind of annoying,' is the self-assessment of another Norwegian, Bjørn. A Dutch youth, Romain, notes: 'If I talk, I'm annoying. If I don't talk, I'm boring.' He also says: 'Being young is hard. Sometimes I've found being alive hard.'
