It has been
exciting to host a group of 19 Doctoral and Master students from Hong Kong in
Bergen across a 2-week period in December 2023 for a new intensive course
called Education and Society in Norway Today. They visited as part of the government-sponsored
Global
Competence Partnership project that enables collaboration at the PhD and
faculty development levels between Education University of Hong Kong and Western
Norway University of Applied Sciences. It is the second time in 2023 that we
have had a large delegation of visitors coming from Hong Kong to Bergen through
this project.
This time, the 19 students came to Bergen along with one professor (Koji Matsunobu) and one administrator (Rachel Yik Man Li). Their intensive course has featured academic lectures and discussions, museum tours, visits to an array of Norwegian schools (including comprehensive school, outdoor school, barnehage, and kulturskole, and the HVL Stord island campus), cultural heritage sites (Viking sites, stave churches, etc.), and training in VR/MR technologies and educational research methods.

This weekend we
will also be hosting the second annual GAME Symposium of the Grieg Academy Music Education
research group, which this time features writing workshops for an EU
Horizon Europe application as well as cooperation with notable Sami musicians. The GAME symposium in Bergen will include a number of scholars, musicians and other guests doing interesting work: Stefan Ostersjo, Johan Sara, Annukka Hirvasvuopio, Maia Mazurkiewicz, Mikolaj Rykowski, Judith Trondle, Boris Traue, Knut Eysturstein, Susanne Rosenberg, Koji Matsunobu, David Johnson, Odd Turleiv Furness, Sondre Pettersen, Steinar Satre, Sergei Tchirkov, Jostein Stalheim, Knut Jonas Sellevold, Matthieu Stepec, and several more joining online.
