About project:

The aim of the project in Gjøvik was to organize and take part in winter activities to learn about Norwegian culture and how the local community and nature are used for sports and recreation. Another aim was to undertake new challenges, learn new skills, and learn how to be inclusive and support each other in activities. The project also encouraged students to continue these activities when they returned home and to organize activities where they could include members of their local communities.
