Adidas Originals White Space Project invites Originals girls from around the world to share their passion and showcase their creative skills. In Norway adidas Originals and the magazine "Det Nye" launched a competition earlier this spring, and chose five contestants for the final. The contest evolved around the question: "What would you do with a white empty space and a budget of 35000,- NOK?" Elisabeth Larsen aka Dj Liz, founder of "Oh Mama", an all female Dj Crew was voted forth as the winner. Her idea was to fill the empty space with entrepreneurial women within creative fields of work. Such as; dancers, designers, musicians, artists, dj´s and so on. To create a space for inspiration, motivation, entrepreneurship & networking. And the result of her idea became a big event on June 9th at White Light Studios in Borggata 9, Oslo. The event was separated in two parts. Part one is was an entrepreneur workshop for creative girls. Girls that has succeeded in starting their own business based on their passion is sharing their stories. And girls who want to succeed in doing the same was invited to participate in the 4 hour workshop with storytelling, dialogue, discussions and networking. There was also two inspirational talks from two girls with research background on female leadership and entrepreneurship.
