On Tuesday, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway visited the Aurora workshop – a working community of artists with and without disabilities in Bærum. Ceramics, textiles, clothing and paper have been produced at the workshop, despite a pandemic and strict infection control measures.
The Crown Princess said:
“I am happy that the workplace has been able to stay open during the pandemic, and there is hard work behind it. Having a meaningful job and regular routines is important for health. For some, and for many at Aurora, it is extra important.”
During the visit, the Crown Princess was briefed on the workshop’s 34-year history by entrepreneur Trine Dreyer. Today, Aurora Verksted has around 100 employees and has built an ordinary company around the adapted workplace. This includes the aurora store in Oslo and the design work produced with partners outside the workshop.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit thanked midwives for their work, marking International Day of the Midwife on Wednesday.
In a video message shared on the Norwegian Royal Family’s YouTube page, Crown Princess Mette-Marit said, “Midwives have one of the most important jobs in the world. You help at the beginning of life and ensure security and professionalism in one of the most vulnerable life situations for both mother and child.
“Everything is at stake.”
She continued, noting the challenges of midwifery and pointing out that they are always present and that their work “is about so much, among other things, it is about seeing everyone just as they are.”
