Andrine (18) drømmer om å bli samisklærer, men frykter at systemet gjør det umulig.

Hennes historie setter søkelys på en kritisk utfordring for Sápmi: Uten nok samisklærere, stopper språkrevitaliseringen opp 👩‍🏫

ENGLISH: Andrine (18) dreams of becoming a Sámi teacher, but fears the system makes it impossible.

Andrine brenner for å lære seg samisk, men mener undervisningen ikke har forberedt henne og medelevene godt nok til en eventuell eksamen.
