On 04 March, the FEL Norway cohort visited Stortinget and spent time with Ida Lindtveit Røse, deputy leader of the Kristelig Folkeparti.

Experience from the FEL perspective


Ida shared her journey from serving on her school’s student council, through youth politics, to her current roles as Member of Parliament, parliamentary leader, and deputy leader.


Some key takeaways from the discussion with Ida:
👉 Say yes to challenges – people rarely ask you to take on responsibility unless they believe you are capable of it.
👉 Build a feedback culture where giving and receiving constructive input is normal. The ability to handle honest, critical feedback is essential for growth as both a leader and a community. Without it, unhealthy cultures can take root.
👉 As a (young) leader, it helps to remember that no one expects you to have all the answers. Trust your team, surround yourself with strong people, and let them contribute.
