Tilskudd til trygg gjennomføring av avgangsmarkering

This is a grant program from Agder County (Agder fylkeskommune) in Norway designed to support graduation celebrations for upper secondary school students in the Agder region. The program aims to ensure safe, inclusive graduation celebrations by providing funding for activities and events. The grant supports initiatives that promote inclusion, reduce economic and social pressure on students, ensure safety during events, and encourage collaboration between students, schools, student councils, municipalities, and police. The program explicitly focuses on alternatives to alcohol-centered celebrations and aims to create opportunities accessible to all graduating students, whether they participate in traditional "russ" celebrations or not. The subsidy scheme has been approved and will continue through 2028. Applications are reviewed by the youth county committee, and funding is distributed across multiple schools and activities. Recipients must submit a post-event report including descriptions, evaluations, accounts, and photos.
