Book of Condolences for children and youth

Submitted contributions to the protocol

Many children and young people are grieving following the terrible tragedy that struck Norway on 22 July. This can also apply to you. Here you have the opportunity to express what you think and feel after the bomb in Oslo and the shooting of Utøya by sending a greeting. Your contributions could include drawings, poems or just written messages with thoughts and reflections. We would like you to submit electronically. You do not need to write your full name if you do not feel like it. If you need help, talk with adults you know.

A selection of the various contributions and messages will be published on this web site. If you're unable to submit electronically you may send condolences to Ung kondolanse, Kunnskapsdepartementet, Postboks 7060 St. Olavs Plass, 0130 Oslo.

All greetings will be preserved for the future to show how young people reacted when this terrible incident happened in Norway. You can send your greetings until 1 October this year.

Now it is important that we show care for each other.
