The goal of the project Art connects nations is to organize an exhibition \u201cTogether in Europe\u201d with international participation within the renowned festival \u2013 Fest Michael where we also present the outputs of the project, which will be created in the framework of creative cooperation with the Norwegian school in Oslo. The activities organised during the project support the mutual transfer of innovation and exchange of experience in vocational education.<\/p>\n

Our partner school is named after the famous Norwegian painter Edvard Munch.<\/p>\n

Edvard Munch upper secondary school has around 1,300 students and approx. 170 teachers. The school is located in Ullevalsveien 5 – in what was the Art and Crafts School’s former premises, right in the city centre.<\/p>\n

Their study programs are: Art, design and architecture, Crafts, design and product development (wood, gold and textiles), Music and Dance. In the newly established Studio E in Fredensborgveien, close to the school, the vocational study areas Flower, Hairdressing and Interior and exposure design are also offered.<\/p>\n

Study specialization has a wide range of subjects as science, languages, social studies and economics. Within the language subjects, they focus on internationalization with exchange programs and study tours. Within science, they focus on technology, modeling and programming. Many students also choose cross-country sports. The learning environment is characterized by cooperation – the students at the school support each other and work together in groups of four. They also participate in activities where they work together with students from the other education programs. They emphasize on the diverse environment at the school. The school also has Munchtid – a voluntary tutoring service with teachers, where students choose which subject they want to work on. In the creative workshop, students can come to immerse themselves in a project, program a robot, use a laser cutter or create a 3D model.<\/p>\n

Teachers will be involved in job shadowing in practical classes. They will be coaching the students as they work on photography assignments \u2013 the topic – architecture, landscape, and nature. They will have the opportunity to share their experiences and discuss teaching methods during the practical outdoor assignment with the Norwegian colleague and share know-how in the organization and implementation of practical teaching in different demographics. The teachers will discuss and compare educational systems, share, and exchange ideas and learn about new IT technologies using at school. We have the ambition to be an example for other institutions specialising in multimedia and creative education.<\/p>\n

In May 2024\u00a0<\/strong> two Czech teachers and three students came to Norway. Students took part in art lessons and worked on their creative tasks and outputs for Fest Michael. They discussed the main theme \u201cTogether in Europe\u201d with Norwegian students and teachers.
