Background
There are naturally various and diverse reasons or factors that have played a part in shaping who I am and what I stand for. I think that the most important is the times we live in – the life I lead in the Norwegian society, my origins from Kosovo, my age (born in 1973) and the experiences I acquired. What follow are my family situation, bachelor and master degree studies in human rights, political science and democratization, and working in recent years for various human rights organizations such as: Norwegian Refugee Council (information officer), Norwegian Helsinki Committee (advisor), and the Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers - NOAS (Chief of Department). I worked also as a part time scientific assistant at the University College of Buskerud (2002-2004). (I did work in other domains ranging from gardening just after I arrived in Norway in 1992 to computing consultant at the Post Office in 1999)...

What I Do Now
I live in Drammen nearby Oslo and I work as Chief of Department at the Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers (NOAS). I'm also a board member of Amnesty International Norway...

My homepage

With time I gathered information that can be interesting to others. In the last year I started to put out pictures taken from my travels. These are arranged in the form of mini galleries, each of which contains 6 pictures...

I suppose that is all I can tell you about myself and my homepage in these few lines. For further information, please e-mail me...
