What are Student Games Bergen and Bergen Challenge?

Bergen Challenge is the organizer of the largest student sports festival in the Nordics, Student Games Bergen. Every other year, Bergen is filled with over 2,500 students from across the Nordic region, competing in 26 different sports and a wide range of cultural events. With the help of up to 700 volunteers, we create a long weekend filled with activity, community, and true student spirit.

The Student Games are more than just sports, they are a festival where the joy of sport, culture, and inclusion take center stage. Together, we aim to build a meeting place that brings students together across all of Bergen and gives volunteers memories for life.

In autumn 2026, Bergen Challenge will host the next edition of Student Games Bergen.

We are now starting our third recruitment round and are looking for engaged students who want to leave their mark on the event. As part of Bergen Challenge, you will have the opportunity to take part in everything from recruitment parties and anniversaries to office socials and MUCH more!

Greeting from BC-Leader Astrid

Astrid Hilland Lærum Leader leder@bergenchallenge.no DEAR FELLOW STUDENT October is just around the corner, and soon 2,500 students will gather in Bergen to compete, cheer, and experience Studentlekene Bergen (the Bergen Student Games) together. The largest student sports festival in the Nordics takes over the city, and behind the scenes, up to 700 volunteers in Bergen Challenge make it all happen. We are now hiring for the fourth time, and since the event is already just around the corner in October, there is hardly a better way to start the semester than by joining the team.

Studentlekene Bergen fills the city with sports, shows, and social events over several days.

Students from across the Nordics come to Bergen to compete in a wide range of sports, meet new people, and be part of something far bigger than an ordinary tournament.

For an event of this size to work, we need people with all kinds of interests and backgrounds.

Maybe you enjoy logistics and planning. Maybe you are passionate about sports and competition, or about shows and culture. Maybe you thrive on finance and budgets, or on setting up and following through on partnership agreements.

Maybe you like social media, marketing, and recruitment. Or maybe you are the one who loves creating a good atmosphere and coming up with 3

social activities within the organization. Whatever you enjoy working with, there is a place for you in Bergen Challenge.

We already have more than 350 volunteers, but what matters most to us is that everyone who applies gets to join. Bergen Challenge quickly becomes more than just planning an event. It is an environment where students work closely together over time, where the office is always full of people, and where you get to know new people across faculties and fields of study. Many who have been part of it before say that this, the community, the collaboration, and the friendships, is what stays with them afterward.

Through the first three hiring rounds, many have already found their place with us, and the team is really starting to take shape. There are still several important roles left to fill, and we hope even more people want to join.

Maybe you are exactly who we are missing!

I look forward to getting to know more of you, and to creating Studentlekene Bergen together.

Best, Astrid Hilland Lærum

HIRING PR The PR section doesn’t just make sure the Student Games Bergen happen, we make sure everyone knows they’re happening. We’re the section that creates the hype. TikToks, reels, campaigns, posters, stunts, and ideas that make people stop and wonder what on earth Bergen Challenge is up to now.

This round we have one goal: ENORMOUS attention. We’re going to fill campus, social media, and the city of Bergen with Bergen Challenge. You don’t need to be an expert. What matters most is that you’re excited to create something cool, willing to test ideas, and want to help build a section that will become one of the biggest (and most fun) in all of BC. With us, you can work with social media, video, design, writing, idea development, campaigns, marketing, or simply bring energy and great ideas to the table. We work closely with the rest of the organization and make sure everything that happens actually gets seen. Do you want to create hype, build something big, and make BC impossible to ignore?

Then PR is the section you should apply to.

Throughout the year, we facilitate social activities that make volunteering especially rewarding. We organize everything from tournaments and weekly office hangouts to parties, hikes, games and other fun things. In short: we are the section that cranks up the volume on well-being and makes sure everyone is having a great time, from the first hiring round to the closing party after the Student Games Bergen.
