Role of TG: Participation Ombud

Hi!

Lars Petter is my name, and TG10 is my 5th TG I'm on. = D I started my career at TG as crew in ChillOut, and until last year I had a my base there. At TG09, I was both crew in ChillOut and assistant for the participants ombudsman - Eileén Tennebø.

On the TG10, I am the participant ombudsman, therefore I am the participants' "Mama". I will ensure that the participants:
-have a good time at TG
-are treated fairly
-with special needs get help
-know that they can come to me, if the need someone to talk to.

I will also answer questions from parents.

Why I choose to be a participant ombud?
I decided to become a participant ombudsman because I think the role is exciting and offers challenges. I like to come in contact with many new people - this is something I think is fun =)

My goal is that everyone should have a good time at TG =)

Why should you be with that participant?
TG is Norway's largest computer party and is an excellent venue for computing-interested youth. This year we will concentrate more on the creativity and knowledge so that we cover a larger area than just games. You as a participant meet new people and get to experience a computer party of a lifetime.

Easily. TG is cool =)
