Experience of Nature
Students participate in outdoor activities such as excursions and field trips and become acquainted with characteristic landscape forms, plants and animals. Students practice different types of Friluftsliv - activities and thereby deepen their subject development. Friluftsliv is a Norwegian way of doing outdoor-activities deeply rooted in Norwegian identity.
Every student reflects on the adventure experiences based on his/her own background. Students write an assignment reflecting on their gained experiences. For example, a student of nursing can connect experience to a public health perspective, a student of tourism to nature tourism, and a teacher student to outdoor based teaching.
