The midway seminar of Elisabeth Brun.

This day of debate is about the personal stories that seldom get told: what it means to be involuntarily childless in a society that tends to revolve around children and what happens when becoming a parent is not what one had expected.

This event aims to contribute new voices, arguments and angles of approach to the Norwegian public debate on fertility, family and parenthood.
