dugnad” is a Norwegian word it’s nice to know about since it’s not easy translated to English. Copilot said : Dugnad is a Norwegian word for voluntary community work. It’s when people come together to help out—like cleaning a shared space, fixing something, or organizing an even. It’s all about teamwork, helping each other, and building a sense of community.
