The Welfare Council in Oslo and Akershus is a student organization established in 2004, which represents students from various higher education institutions associated with the student welfare organization SiO. The organisation's main task is to convey the students' wishes and demands to SiO, as well as to act as an electoral body for students in the various boards associated with SiO.
The Welfare Board offers a range of welfare services with a focus on students' well-being and health. This includes measures to improve student welfare, as well as information and resources about student life. The organization is also involved in student politics and representation, and has a cultural board that promotes cultural activities. In addition, the Welfare Board organizes social and cultural events for students, which contributes to an active student environment.
