“Russecelebration” is a Norwegian culture phenomenon, which is based on a Danish tradition.
When students finish high school they call themselves russ and marks it with partying and special russe customs that russ hats, cards and vehicles. They wear red cloths.
The celebration peaks often up to the 17th of May, Norway´s national day, where there are students’ parades all over Norway and the Norwegian schools abroad.
Other Russ traditions include russe-kro, russ-evue and russ-newspaper.
Maartje is a russ at the Norwegian School at Gran Canaria this year and we went out in the desert, Dunas de Maspalomas, and took some russe-photos.
