Candidates
Sofiia Nesterova, fine arts
I want to work towards better quality of teaching and a more enjoyable environment at our school. I want to ensure that the students' interests are well taken care of and make it easier for us to provide input. I spend a lot of time at school and would like to see more activity at KHiO!
Sigurd Bolstad, jazz dance
My name is Sigurd Aleksander, and I study jazz dance. As a member of the student council, I will prioritize better communication and handling skills. As the only representative from performing arts, I want to promote the students' needs, establish open dialogue and strengthen collaboration. Together we can create a more efficient and collaborative study environment at Khio!
Rasmus Drastrup, fine arts
I will focus on the reopening of our beloved school bar - a lively gathering place that will be a catalyst for increased activity and a stronger bond between departments. By maintaining a safe and supportive environment, we can ensure that the re-opening of the bar remains a positive and inclusive experience for all members of our shared school.
Magda Thomsen, interior architecture and furniture design
My name is Magda and I am starting second year interior architecture and furniture design in the autumn and have a burning commitment to student involvement in both academic and social work at school. In my first year I have been the head of SU in the department of design and have seen it as a great learning opportunity for myself, but also an important and functioning channel towards the dean and the school's management. I want to be able to contribute with my commitment to creative creation together with an interest for bureaucratic processes so that you don't have to! I am humbled to have the opportunity to look forward to representing you in the school's and the students' other bodies. Good luck on the elections!
