HISTORY
But what is REALLY the olive heritage?
A thousand years of extreme commitment
Are you one of the many who have asked themselves this question?
Although the concept of inheritance is relatively new, the phenomenon is a thousand years old. What is it about the character Olav that causes him to trigger such an extreme commitment? Is there a common thread through this thousand-year history?
And what exactly is Olav's legacy?
In the lecture "But what is REALLY the olive heritage? A thousand years of extreme commitment" director at Stiklestad National Cultural Center Heidi Anett Øvergård Beistad takes a closer look at precisely these questions. The aim is to make visible the diversity that hides behind the term and how this breadth has both contributed to the millennial relevance of the legacy and ongoing debates about the actual content of the legacy. In the extension, she will also touch on SNK's extensive work to safeguard its responsibility linked to the symbolic, thousand-year-old heritage.
The lecture was held during the Olsok days at Stiklestad 2020 and can be seen here:
