Please scroll down for ENGLISH version.

簡介

北歐國家（挪威丶瑞典丶丹麥）有著悠久的自由民主傳統，人權標準享負盛名。 他們對香港的反送中運動，本應可以做得更多。不幸的是，他們對目前香港的運動，相對英國美國，保持沉默，對中國的事務，包括人權問題，更實行自我審查，甚少發聲。但觀乎近月來美國歐洲的一連串情況，要繼續國際線抗爭，北歐是時候走出一步。

挪威香港文化協會正與在瑞典和丹麥一起組織香港代表團訪問北歐，為期一週。代表團訪問北歐目的是建立網絡並呼籲北歐政府和國會採取行動支持香港運動。 代表團由立法會議員，抗爭人士，民間新聞發布會的代表和香港的攝影記者參加。 代表團行程將於2月25日在哥本哈根開始，然後是到奧斯陸，並於3月3日在斯德哥爾摩結束。

在奧斯陸，代表團將能夠與挪威國會議員，市政當局的代表，青年黨成員，媒體，學者和非政府組織會面。 還邀請他們進行研討會並參加小組討論，同時香港代表團亦會和挪威知名人仕，到一個為期兩週的新聞工作者攝影展主持開幕，展示2019年的香港抗議活動，標題為``自由與民主戰場''。

我們亦籌備在挪威第二大城市卑爾根舉辦香港記者攝影展，為期至少兩週，計劃舉辦日期為3-5月。 我們正物色場地。

我們需要資金在挪威籌備一個成功的代表團和記者攝影展。 我們的目標是籌集70,000港元（約合80,000挪威克朗，捐贈貨幣為港元)。剩餘的資金將捐給 612人道支援基金及/或星火同盟，用於幫助被捕的抗爭者。

關於挪威香港文化協會

挪威香港文化協會（挪威語：Hongkongkomiteen i Norge）是一個獨立的志願組織，沒有從屬任何政黨政治派別，其宗旨是為呼應香港維持基本人權。 它於2019年8月在挪威正式成立。截止到今天，我們已有4位主要幹事和90多名會員。

挪威香港文化協會與其他組織的合作，我們相信，大家彼此站在一起，我們會更強大。 自2019年7月以來，我們與國會議員，學者，非政府組織舉行了會議。 挪威的各種媒體（包括報紙，國家廣播電台和基於互聯網的媒體）也對我們所做的工作做了報導。 我們還與挪威西藏委員會，挪威維吾爾族委員會以及挪威的許多越南和台灣朋友保持著密切的合作關係。今年我們將與瑞典，丹麥和芬蘭的志同道合者進行信息交流，壯大北歐集體遊說力量，並繼續加強北歐國家之間的合作。

Brief Introduction

Scandinavian countries (i.e. Norway, Sweden, Denmark) have a long tradition of democracy and enjoy high human rights standard. We believe that Scandinavian countries can do more, though they have been relatively quiet about the current conflicts in China, including the Hong Kong situation, as well as practising self-censorship against China.

Hong Kong Committee in Norway is co-organising a 1-week delegation tour in Scandinavia together with our friends in Sweden and Denmark. The aim of the delegation tour is to build network and call for actions to support the Hong Kong movement in Scandinavia. The delegation tour will be taken part by members of the Legislative Council, activists, a representative from the Citizens’ Press Conference, and a photojournalist from Hong Kong. The delegation tour will start on 25th February in Copenhagen, followed by Oslo, and finish in Stockholm on 3rd March.

In Oslo, the delegation will be able to meet members of the Parliament, representatives from the municipalities, youth parties, media, academics, and NGOs. They are also invited to give seminars and participate in open panel discussions. The delegation is invited to launch a 2-week Journalist Photo Exhibition about the Hong Kong protests in 2019 with the title ‘Battleground for Freedom and Democracy’.

We are planning to hold a similar Journalist Photo Exhibition in Bergen, Norway's second largest city. The exhibition will last for at least 2 weeks. The proposed dates are in March-May. We have been in contact with various venues in Bergen.

We need funds to organise a worthwile delegation and journalist photo exhibitions in Norway. Our aim is to raise HKD 70,000 (around 80,000 Norwegian kroners NOK, donation currency would be Hong Kong Dollars - HKD). Any remaining funds will go to 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund and/or Spark Alliance, a non-profit fund devoted to helping arrested protesters and activists.
