"This is Norway"

Before the Eastern break, some of our participants performed clips from different themes about Norway. Amongst the audience was (from the left) the advicor in school matters for Kongsberg, our town, the head of our commune, a politician and the school's principal.

Our pupils had prepared a computer show based on new programs they had learned. The program allowed them to practice their Norwegian in many ways: They had to find adequate information on the interent, through interviews, books etc. This information were put together as a slide show before they put text and speech on everything. To top the show, they also chosed music to go with the themes.

This was a new experience for all of us. The participants worked hard weeks before, especially they had to focus a lot on the pronounciation for the programme. This meant that they had to tape again and again until everything worked out perfect.

The aucience was impressed, and we all enjoyed very much the sample of typical Norwegian food to be tasted in full! We also learned many new things about Norway's culture and tradition, and are all looking forward to another similar event in the future.
