I have created festival glasses that are really simple, and that is really the whole point of them.
Jeg har laget en festivalbrille som er superenkel, og det er egentlig hele poenget med den.
They are perforated, and contain no glass, do not fold together, nothing.
Den er perforert, har ikke noe glass, ikke noe lukkefunksjon, ingen ting.
The concept is really just that they shade your eyes.
Konseptet er egentlig bare at du får skygge gjennom den.
With this design, I've reached the final of a really good competition in France.
Med det her, så har jeg kommet videre i en veldig fin konkurranse i Frankrike.
It's called 'Window to the World'.
Den heter «Window to the World».
IIsaac Hegna Manning (21) from Lillehammer got the idea for 'Festeye' after attending Extreme Sports Week at Voss last summer.
Ideen til brillen «Festeye» fikk Isaac Hegna Manning (21) fra Lillehammer etter å ha vært på Ekstremsportveko på Voss i fjor sommer.
One of the big Norwegian mobile phone companies was handing out advertising glasses.
Et større norsk mobilselskap delte ut reklamebriller.
'The quality was so poor that most of them ended up as plastic trash on the ground in the space of a few minutes,' says our product design student.
– Kvaliteten var så lav at de aller fleste parene endte som plastsøppel på bakken i løpet av noen øyeblikk, forteller produktdesignstudenten.
When Isaac started his product design studies the following autumn, his first assignment was to design a pair of glasses.
Da Isaac startet på produktdesignstudiet den påfølgende høsten, var første skoleoppgave å designe en brille.
The idea was that the end product could be entered in the International Eyewear Design 2015 competition, which is organised by the French trade association Les Luntiers du Jura.
Resultatet skulle kunne delta i den internasjonale konkurransen International Eyewear Design 2015 som arrangeres av den franske bransjeorganisasjonen Les Lunetiers du Jura.
A window to the world
Verdensvindu
Under the title 'Window to the World', participants were asked to create glasses or a filter that reflects their perspective on the world and how they want to make it better.
Under tittelen «Window to the World» ble konkurransedeltakerne bedt om å lage en brille eller et filter som gjenspeiler deres perspektiv på verden og hvordan de ønsker å gjøre den bedre.

'That got me thinking about the festival glasses from the summer, and I decided that I wanted to improve both the glasses and the experience.'
– Da kom jeg til å tenke på festivalbrillene fra sommeren, og det oppstod en ønske om å forbedre både brillen og opplevelsen.
Cheap quality
Billig kvalitet
The designer is referring to perforated glasses, i.e. glasses with holes instead of glass, which are often associated with poor quality.
Designeren mener perforerte briller, det vil si briller med huller i stedet for glass, ofte er av, og forbundet med, lav kvalitet.
While it is true that the idea for 'Festeye' is that it should be very simple and cost little, it should nevertheless be good to wear, good to put on and high quality.
Meningen med «Festeye» er riktignok at den skal være veldig enkel og koste lite, men likevel være både god å ha på, god å ta på og av høy kvalitet.
'I like working with wood and have seen some pretty cool wooden glasses before.'
– Jeg liker godt å jobbe med tre, og har sett en del kule trebriller tidligere.
Isaac reveals that he was initially inspired by the classic Wayfarer glasses from RayBan.
Isaac røper likevel at han innledningsvis hentet inspirasjon i den klassiske Wayfarer-solbrillen til RayBan.
There are still some traces of the basic shape, but a lot has been changed during the development process.
Det er fortsatt en del igjen av grunnformen, men mye har blitt forandret på veien.
He has refined the pattern that replaces the glass and describes it as 'simple and unsystematic'.
Han har jobbet enda mer med mønsteret som erstatter brilleglassene og karakteriserer det som «enkelt og usystematisk».
Horrible testing weather
Elendig testvær
'Fortunately, after a long, dark and grey autumn, we finally saw some sun this winter and spring.
– Heldigvis, etter en utrolig mørk og grå høst, kom det litt sol både i vinter og i vår.
That allowed me test them a bit.
Da fikk jeg testet dem ut litt.
And yes: The glasses provide shade and you can see through them as well.
Og ja: Brillene gir skygge samtidig som det går an å se gjennom dem.
'And maybe you're not supposed to see what you can't see.
– Dessuten, det du ikke ser, er det kanskje ikke meningen at du skal se.
You don't really want to see everything at a festival, either,' he says laughing.
Det er jo ikke alt men vil får med seg på festival heller, ler han.

Of the original 223 participants, Isaac is one of just ten finalists.
Av 223 deltakere er Isaac blant ti finalister.
The first prize is 5,000 euros.
I førstepremiepotten ligger 5 000 euro.
The chair of the jury is Toyota's head designer in Europe.
Jurylederen er Toyotas sjefsdesigneren i Europa.
The student has until the end of May to develop a fully working prototype in addition to producing both a brochure and a presentation video.
Innen utgangen av mai måned må studenten utvikle en fullt fungerende prototype, i tillegg til å lage både brosjyre og presentasjonsvideo.
Isaac believes it might be the overall concept that the jury has fallen for.
Isaac tror det kan være helheten og konseptet hans som juryen har falt for.
Should be pimped!
Bør pimpes!
'The idea is that it should be a cheap object, preferably free, that can work as it is, but that will be even cooler if you do something with it yourself,' our designer explains.
– Tanken er jo at det skal være en billig ting, gjerne gratis, som kan fungere som den er, men som bli enda kulere hvis man gjør noe med dem selv, forklarer designeren.
He envisages people painting, polishing and whittling at his festival glasses to personalise them.
Han ser for seg at man både kan male, pusse og spikke på festivalbrillen.
The process of styling your own personal glasses can help to create an emotional attachment between the owner and the glasses.
Prosessen med å stile sine egne, personlige briller kan bidra til at eieren blir følelsesmessig knyttet til objektet.
'And maybe you will swap glasses with a pretty girl.
– Og kanskje bytter du din egen brille bort med ei søt jente.
Imagine what a lovely, physical festival souvenir that would make,' he says with a smile.
Tenk for et fint, rent fysisk, festivalminne!, smiler produktdesignstudenten.
And to tea they shall return'
Og til te skal de bli»
As Isaac sees the concept, it should be possible to demonstrate the whole journey of the glasses as a product, or their life cycle, if you will, in the festival tent.
I konseptet ser Isaac for seg at hele produktreisen til brillen, eller livssyklusen om du vil, skal kunne foregå og demonstreres innenfor festivalenboden.
He even envisages it being possible to produce the glasses, or at least a limited number of them, there on site.
Han ser til og med for seg at det vil være mulig at brillene produseres, i hvert fall i et mindre antall, der og da.
The concept can help to raise festival goers' awareness about waste and the environment.
Konseptet kan bidra til bevisstgjøring omkring bruk og kast blant den jevne festivalgjengere.
If some festival glasses get broken, which is more or less to be expected, Isaac has a solution to that problem as well.
Skulle et par festivalbriller eller ti gå istykker, noe som jo egentlig man som rett og rimelig må forvente, har Isaac tenkt på det også.
'If that happens, the idea is that, as a statement, you should be able to hand back the glasses and get a cup of tea in return that has been heated over the flames of your broken Festeye,' explains product design student Isaac Hegna Manning.
– Da var tanken at du, som et statement, skal kunne levere den tilbake, og i retur få en kopp te varmet på flammene fra din ødelagte Festeye, forklarer produktdesignstudent Isaac Hegna Manning.

This forces them to figure out how to get help themselves, which may lead to a skewed distribution of the assistance rendered.
De må da selv finne ut av hvordan de skal skaffe seg hjelp, noe som kan føre til en skjevfordeling av hjelpen.
Families with children who have a disability often have very challenging life circumstances that entail that they require more help from public services than other families.
Familier med barn som har en funksjonsnedsettelse har ofte en veldig krevende livssituasjon som innebærer at de har behov for mer hjelp fra det offentlige enn andre familier.
The report is based on summarized research from a number of countries as well as the researchers’ own interviews.
Rapporten bygger på litteraturgjennomgang fra en rekke land samt egne intervjuer.
Mixed feedback
Blandede tilbakemeldinger
The findings from international research show that the parents’ experience of the assistance rendered varies significantly.
Funnene fra litteraturgjennomgangen viser at foreldrenes opplevelse av hjelpen varierer mye.
Parents whose children’s functional impairments were discovered at birth seem to have a more positive experience of the support systems than others.
Foreldre med barn hvor funksjonsnedsettelsen ble oppdaget i forbindelse med fødselen, synes å ha en mer positiv opplevelse av hjelpeapparatet enn andre.
“This may be due to hospital staff being of assistance in regards to connecting to the support systems at large,” project leader and researcher Tonje Gundersen comments.
- Dette kan ha sammenheng med at ansatte ved sykehuset i disse tilfellene har hjulpet til med å komme i kontakt med det øvrige hjelpeapparatet, forteller Gundersen.
Danger of skewed distribution
Fare for skjevfordeling
“Many parents think it is tiresome to get an overview of how to secure assistance for their child,” Gundersen explains.
Mange foreldre opplever imidlertid at informasjonen om tjenestene og hjelpesystemet er mangelfull, tilfeldig og personavhengig.
Many parents experience that the information about the support systems and its services are incomplete, random and depend on the people involved.
Ansvaret for å skaffe seg og koordinere hjelpetiltak faller da på dem.
The responsibility to get and coordinate assistance thus falls on the parents.
Det kan ofte være krevende å finne fram i et komplisert system som styres av ulike lovverk.
Finding answers and possibilities in a complicated system that depends on multiple sets of laws is often challenging.
- Ikke alle foreldre har de samme ressursene eller mulighetene til å klare dette.
“Not all parents have the same resources or possibilities to manage, and this can cause skewed distribution of official assistance,” warns Gundersen.
Her kan det ligge en kime til mulig skjevfordeling av den offentlige hjelpen, advarer Gundersen.
Minority parents especially at risk
Minoritetsforeldre er spesielt utsatt
The problems the majority of these parents experience in regards to dealing with the support systems and accessing assistance might be even more prevalent for parents with minority backgrounds.
De problemene som flertallet av disse foreldrene opplever i forhold til å forholde seg til hjelpesystemet og å skaffe tilveie hjelp, gjelder kanskje i enda større grad minoritetsforeldre.
The challenges as regards to information are fortified, and the threshold to seek help even higher.
For disse vil informasjonsutfordringene forsterkes, og terskelen for å få hjelp bli enda høyere.
“Continuing inadequate and random information, random assistance and help will over time lead to parents becoming exhausted, stressed and burned out,” says Demiri.
- Vedvarende utilstrekkelig og tilfeldig informasjon, tilfeldig støtte og hjelp vil over tid føre til at foreldrene blir slitne, stressede og utbrente, sier Demiri.
Wants to professionalize the coordinator role
Vil profesjonalisere koordinatorrollen
According to the researchers the study shows that measures to ensure that parents receive information and appropriate services at the right time are necessary.
Ifølge forskerne viser studien at det er behov for tiltak som sikrer at foreldrene får informasjon og riktige tjenester til rett tid.
They especially comment on the necessity of parents receiving relief in the form of assistance in writing applications and in keeping track of the documentation needed as well as which services they are entitled to.
De trekker også fram nødvendigheten av at foreldrene får avlastning i form av hjelp til å utforme søknader og til å ha oversikt over hvilke krav som stilles til dokumentasjon samt tjenester de har krav på.
The findings from international research coincide with the results of the researchers’ own interviews.
Funnene fra litteraturstudien samsvarer med resultatene fra forskernes egne intervjuer på dette området.
All of the parents interviewed expressed that they would like one person to interact with who had an overview of the support system and who could inform them about services, help them with applications and keep track of decisions, documentation requirements and application deadlines.
Samtlige av foreldrene som var intervjuet, ga uttrykk for at de ønsket seg en person å forholde seg til som hadde oversikt over hjelpesystemet, informerte om tjenestene, hjalp dem å søke, og å holde orden på vedtak, dokumentasjonskrav og søknadsfrister.
“Professionalizing the coordinator role could be an important measure in order to secure a fairer allocation of public assistance no matter the parents’ resources,” Gundersen points out.
- En profesjonalisering av koordinatorrollen vil kunne være et viktig tiltak i retning av å sørge for en mer rettferdig tildeling av offentlig hjelp – uavhengig av foreldrenes ressurser, påpeker Gundersen.
