NORDNATUR is a Nordic-Baltic network of higher education within the field of natural resource management. Our objective is to widen up the national perspective of ecosystem management in order to match the cross-boundary nature of ecosystems and climate. In this way, we aim at educating future natural resource managers with a wide scope and understanding of sustainability. Our network includes 13 partners from all countries included in the Nordic-Baltic region. We are all educating in issues related to natural resource management, even though each of us has specific competences, leading to a wide array of important topics available to our students. Our activities include networking, mobility of students and staff, and intensive courses. We are working on curricula development, joint programmes and other activities. As a centre of information we use our web site on http://nordnatur.net. After enlargement of our network in 2008 by including partners from all three Baltic countries, we have worked on deepening the co-operation within our network. Our priorities for 2012/13 are a wide array of intensive courses and joint curriculum development within the field of natural resource management. 3 Granted funds Mobility, intensive course(s) Partners LANDBÚNADARHÁSKOLI ÍSLANDS, IS HÁSKÓLINN Á AKUREYRI, IS KØBENHAVNS UNIVERSITET, DK SVERIGES LANTBRUKSUNIVERSITET, SE HÄMEEN AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU, FI ROVANIEMEN AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU, FI TURUN AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU - ÅBO YRKESHÖGSKOLA, FI YRKESHÖGSKOLAN NOVIA, FI HØGSKOLEN I NORD-TRØNDELAG, NO KAUNO MIŠKU IR APLINKOS INŽINERIJOS KOLEGIJA, LT LATVIJAS LAUKSAIMNIECIBAS UNIVERSITATE LLU, LV EESTI MAAÜLIKOOL, EE 02 Architecture Network 29431 EASTERN BALTIC NETWORK OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS Coordinator EESTI MAAÜLIKOOL, EE Simon Bell [email protected] Network description The project involves the development of networked activities among most of the schools of landscape architecture located in the Eastern Baltic region in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland, with Sweden as a supporting partner and Russia as a non-funded associated partner. The aim is to strengthen the teaching capacities and qualities of each school by cooperating in developmental activities designed to improve the quality and effectiveness of three focus areas: curricula structure and content, teaching methods and teaching and learning support in bachelor and master programmes. The project is seen as a three-year programme with the activities applied for here taking place in all three years with nonfunded work continuing in between. The network will be coordinated by the Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMU) and each of the themes will be led by one of the partners supported by several of the others so that the workload is spread across the network. Each of three meetings will be held at a different partner university in order to discuss each theme in turn and to produce documents and other materials which will form the basis for future development and cooperation among the network partners, using mechanisms such as Erasmus teaching exchanges, teaching quality assessments and the development of shared resources. Further funding beyond that applied for here, if available, will provide valuable opportunities for establishing firm cooperation which will be sustainable over the longer term, where network members can continue to meet in order to carry out different joint activities.

Today EkoTekNord also includes ICT, communication, media, logistics, entrepreneurship and innovation. There are 19 network partners and the partnership covers all the Nordic and Baltic countries, except Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Nevertheless, these areas are covered under student placement activities. The partnership is open for new partners, which could contribute to fulfil the aims of the network. Potential new partners are being discussed in every annual partner meeting. The most important aim of the EkoTekNord is to promote and develop student and teacher mobility in the Nordic and Baltic countries and at the same time to offer the students an extra dimension with interdisciplinary studies, e.g. within business, engineering, logistics, communication and entrepreneurship. Network activities are a good way for participating institutions to exchange and disseminate experiences, best practices and innovative results. Student mobility within the network has always been the priority area in cooperation. During the past years the network has spent all the allocated Nordplus mobility grants. The network would also like to engage more teachers in the Nordic – Baltic cooperation e.g. in the form of teacher exchanges. Because of limited mobility resources we decided, however, to give priority to student mobility.

The network cooperates in the fields of business, leadership and management, entrepreneurship, business innovation, design, media and engineering. The aim of the network is to develop innovative and practice-oriented methods for learning and teaching of future business managers for the Nordic and Baltic businesses and to promote entrepreneurship. The network uses partner institutions’ experiences and knowledge of various learning and teaching methods and through this collects and disseminates information about new innovative and various teaching methods. 16 The network organises staff exchanges of competent teachers and gives the possibility to students to take part in student exchanges and in internships and at the same time gather knowledge about Nordic and Baltic market areas and region while staying in other universities of the network or in business companies in the mentioned countries. Business innovation sessions are organised to design new products/services. The aim of the network is to promote Nordic and Baltic cultural understanding and understanding of businesses and business cultures of this region and to strengthen Nordic-Baltic relations. The aim is also to make students aware of their own linguistic background and to increase understanding for local languages as the basis of thinking and at the same time to remove obstacles to business by using common language in communication.

With the evolution of various forms of digital media, primarily the World Wide Web (created 1991); these library skills became central for all modern organisations. LIS has therefore for the most part of the 20th century dealt with issues relating to information sharing that other research disciplines have only recently recognized as relevant. While much of LIS still focuses on the different competences relevant for school libraries, public libraries and university libraries, there is also a heavy emphasis on modern information technology and services. LIS performs state-of-the-art research on issues relating to information searching on the World Wide Web and information sharing in social media. Nevertheless, pockets of LIS research are relatively sparsely distributed over the Baltic-Nordic region. Most countries have one major research and educational environment and a few very small. As LIS covers a broad spectrum of subject areas, there is a great need for Nordic - Baltic collaboration both between large departments and as a service to the smaller.

From 2012-2014 we plan to further increase the integration and elaboration of the already existing expertise on current issues and current research on global journalism within the partner group, such as climate change and war and peace journalism. After the previous program period, having introduced and developed climate change as a theme, we now want to develop and update both this theme and a theme that has followed the master's program since its inception; journalistic reporting of war and conflict. Climate change is an inherently global issue and is thus pedagogically well suited as a running theme in a global journalism program. So is journalistic reporting on war, peace, and conflict, with its professional challenges if it is to avoid ethnocentrism and religious and cultural stereotypes, and contribute to the development of understanding and multiculturalism instead of intensifying tensions and conflicts.

The purpose of the project is that the students of the partner institutions in the Nordic-Baltic region should - meet new perspectives of the internationally most important part of the Nordic literature, the OldNorse. - receive a direct insight into active research and through the personal meeting with the most active scholars themselves receive training for high-qualified thinking. - achieve a knowledge of genuine interdisciplinarity in a meeting between literary studies, philology, folkloristics and history of religion. - be a part of a project where education and research mutually develop each other. Folklore-Philology is a network of departments of folklore, Scandinavian languages, religion and archaeology at universities in Estonia, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Latvia. The past is not only about reality as we perceive it today. For people in pre-modern times the Other World was hardly less important. This is a field that has been studied a great deal by folklorists working with records from the 19th and 20th centuries. However, it played a limited role for the Old Norse philologists for a long time. But Icelandic sagas, and medieval sources in general, are full of Other World encounters. This has come into the focus in recent years, and extensive research in several countries has developed that has changed the traditional image of the Old Icelandic literature. Scholars in several countries have worked to bring folkloristics and Old Norse philology closer together. Historians of religion and archaeologists have also increased our knowledge of the Nordic peoples’ relationship to the supernatural world. This active research is going on in different countries and disciplines. There are efforts to gather these scholars in research networks, but so far there has been no attempt to gather these competences into an education cooperation. By this network and its teacher and student mobility the strong but scattered competence is presented for students all over the Nordic-Baltic region: they encounter contemporary research results from the most excellent scholars themselves, from other countries and other disciplines.

The generally very limited resources of Chinese Studies institutions are contrary to the ever growing importance of today's China and the necessity to carry out the respective research and above all teaching. The project Teaching Chinese Studies in the Nordic-Baltic region aims therefore at developing cooperation among Nordic and/or Baltic Universities in order to provide better preconditions to be able to supply this ever growing demand. In general we target at synergetic collaboration between the different institutions and at better utilization of their respective teaching and research foci. 28 Thereby a greater course variety in terms of type (summer school, intensive course, co-taught courses etc.), as well as in content (fully equipped study programs which reflect the field of Chinese studies more completely when including different disciplines (history, literature, economy etc.) as well as different fields and areas (classical, modern, contemporary, Taiwan, Hongkong, PRC studies etc.) can be achieved. For students this will allow an actual choice in their course selection as well as possible specialization in the later phase of their education (MA and Ph.D.) in a field that can be co-supervised by a teacher from within the Nordplus network. In the long run this would also strengthen the visibility of Chinese studies in the Nordic-Baltic region and thereby facilitate further cooperation especially when it comes to cooperation with Chinese partners. The first very concrete part of the project is building on the positive experience of intensive weekly seminars given by guest teachers from Riga at Stockholm university. Both universities have slightly different profiles. Riga has a strong tendency towards classical literature and history while Stockholm builds on a profile towards modern and contemporary literature and culture. By way of teachers exchange, students as well as the academic culture of both institutions can benefit in a highly efficient and valuable way from each other. The second part of the project aims at a long term effect. In the long run an even greater variety of courses and seminars, summer schools and/or joint-taught programs shall be developed to build up a solid basis for prospective joint degrees and joint supervision of MA and Ph.D. students. Therefore an administrative meeting with first a small group of partners (Riga, Århus, Oslo, Turku, Southern Denmark) will be held in order to establish a solid network that engages in planning teachers and students exchange as well as desirable courses and seminars. Apart from that, this meeting should serve as a basis to discuss the inclusion of further partners.

Coordinator VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETAS, LT Sladana Zivkovic [email protected] Network description NordUd is a network of Scandinavian departments, departments of Finnish and departments of linguistics at universities in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The purpose of the network is to develop the quality of education at the participating institutions. This is aim is reached by two means: Firstly, the network serves as a forum for exchange of knowledge, experience and best practice – an exchange, which functions a catalyst for innovation in the whole network. Secondly, NordUd opens up resources of the participating institutions to all students of the network. Thus academic and pedagogical expertise of one institution is made available to students of other institutions and thereby enhances the quality of education. Concrete network activities include common courses, student mobility, teacher mobility, conferences etc. Granted funds Mobility Partners LATVIJAS UNIVERSITATE, LV TARTU ÜLIKOOL, EE KØBENHAVNS UNIVERSITET, DK UNIVERSITETET I OSLO, NO 29 ROSKILDE UNIVERSITET, DK STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET, SE HÁSKÓLI ÍSLANDS, IS HELSINGFORS UNIVERSITET - HELSINGIN YLIOPISTO, FI UNIVERSITETET I BERGEN, NO 09 Law Network 30524 Law network Coordinator HÁSKÓLI ÍSLANDS, IS Stella Vestmann [email protected] Network description Mobility with quality assurance - student and teacher mobility. One of the main purpose of the network is to be comprehensive in law for an effective utilization of education and research. Student mobility is already widespread, and at 2011 year annual meeting the network structured and shared best practices in order to further increase teacher mobility within the network. The network comprises a total of 20 Law Faculties with in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Student mobility is extensive within the network but during last year the network has taken measures to increace teacher mobility. Due to limited finance of the network and increased number of applications for student mobility, the number of grants for teacher mobility have been limited to two grants. We hope to increase the number of grants for teacher mobilty for next year. The mobility, pedagogical issues, course development, matter of evaluation and administrative work will continue to be the main focus for the network. Furthermore the network has started to prepare and develop ways of facilitating the faculties to share information on scientific materials and publications through the network. The annual network meeting gives rise to new opportunities for cooperation in areas not yet affected by the Nordplus work. In previous years the network has worked to share information on their respective websites, information about the work of the Bologna process and the current and the upcoming masters programs. Through our network meetings we have personal knowledge of where and to who to turn regarding different matters and it has most surtenly been vital in creating and maintaining an effective network like the law network.

N5TeAM - Master’s Programme in Applied and Engineering Mathematics is a two-year Master of Science degree programme (120 ECTS credits). Students study at two of the five Nordic partner universities in this Nordic Five Tech (N5T) programme: Aalto University School of Science in Finland, Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). After completing the two-year programme successful students are awarded two officially recognized M.Sc. degrees: one from each university where they studied at (double degree). The programme takes advantage of the strengths and research specialization of each member university and it covers most aspects of mathematics relevant for applied sciences and engineering. Students learn to turn the engineering and applied science problems into mathematical questions, and gain an understanding for solution methods. The first intake of students will be in autumn 2012. The language of instruction in the international Master’s programme is English.

Teaching statistics leads to the problem of choosing a tool for teaching statistics and subsequent activities that require statistical content. Despite the fact that Excel is a much-used tool for using in statistical analysis however, Excel is not in its essence a statistical tool. Of course, there are the professional commercial statistics packages like SPSS and SAS however, those are often expensive and in many cases beyond the means of the bachelor lever students or individual users. As alternative way for data analysis is to use freeware or online software. One of the popular and most frequently used in scientist work is dynamic open source programme and environment R (http://www.r-project.org). However, this language 31 requires extensive learning and training for teachers and students with programming skills. From this point of view it is necessary to develop such curricula by using free software R in teaching statistics that students can concentrate on the learning statistical principles and analysis, not spending a lot of time and effort in learning the software. The project includes mobility activity Latvia University of Agriculture (LUA) teachers to University of Copenhagen and University of Copenhagen teachers to LUA in 2012/2013. This allows teachers from LUA to improve skills and competence of using free software in Statistics courses and at the same time this will enable teachers from University of Copenhagen to gain experience in this subject. As a result Statistics course curricula (in Latvian) by using free software R for BSc and MSc students at LUA will be developed and prepared.

The main purpose of the Baltic-Nordic Network on Education in Survey Statistics is to strengthen co-operation between universities, government agencies and statistical associations in the Baltic and Nordic countries in education on survey statistics and related statistical applications. For this purpose, the Network organizes each year in one of the participating countries a conference, workshop or a summer school on survey statistics. This far, we have organized 14 such events in one of the Baltic or Nordic countries, with participation of over 500 students, teachers and practicing statisticians. This year Workshop will be organized in Latvia in August 2012 (University of Applied Sciences - Vidzemes Augstskola). In 2013 we plan to organize a Summer School in Belarussia (with other funding) and in 2014, we plan to organize a Workshop in one of the Baltic countries. In addition to the estasblished series of annual events, the Network promotes student and teacher mobility between universities and other educational institutions of the participating countries. More than 100 month-long exchange visits have been made by university teachers, research students and government statisticians in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to partner universities in Sweden and Finland. The previous activities of the Network are summarized in the Network website at http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/BNU/Home.

These networks have been active in both mobility and versatile intensive courses. Partners in Trollnet are all featuring in nurse education. The network will continue to be mono-disciplinary. It aims to increase opportunities to incorporate core competencies from the different institutions in a joint Nordic work on the development of nursing education. Trollnet works with student and teacher mobility, and involve clinical teachers and supervisors in collaboration on training of students. This is a field where the participating partners will benefit greatly from the cooperation. Trollnet also offers different kind of intensive courses for students and teachers, to maximize versatile learning opportunities within the network partners. Results, feedback etc. of the mobility and intensive courses are shared among the network, and students and staff of the partners. During the academic year 2012 – 2013 Trollnet will continue to actualize mobility of students, teachers and staff members, and also some academic staff between the partners in the network. Also Trollnet has planned to arrange two intensive courses, Creative Methods in Communication, and Health Promotion for the Elderly.

The project is therefore seen as instrumental in the development of a close co-operation between the member institutions and can be seen as a means for intergrating the new network member. During the project we will collaborate in the development and evaluation of new pedagogical teaching methods hereunder the use of video in teaching and the use of simulated health promotion sessions. Furthermore, we wish to give our students the opportunity to experience how international cooperation can contribute to the development of professional knowledge and competencies. The main focus of this project is to develop the participating Nordic and Baltic institutions' cooperation, curriculum and pedagogical approaches, via an intensive course for students where health promotion for young people is in focus. The students will develop their knowledge and ability to motivate young people in health promotion activities. Health promotion and the motivation of young people will be studied from several perspectives. Cultural influences upon health behavior will be in focus; hereunder the impact of youth culture, social, ethnic, religious and gender influences upon health behavior, as well as Nordic and Baltic cultural and pedagogical differences with respect to health promotion traditions and 33 methods. The course consists of 1 week student preparation (1,5 ECTS) and 1 week of exchange (1,5 ECTS) All students will receive credit for their particiaption in the intensive program.

During the coming year we will focus on clinical study placement exchanges and intensive courses. Because of the increased mobility among health personnel in the Nordic/Baltic region, clinical study placements provide essential learning opportunities for Nordic and Baltic students who may find work within the Nordic/Baltic region, but not necessarily their home country. The application form asks us to choose between bachelor and master level, but our network is for levels up to and including master. We plan to continue integrating successful intensive course material into each institutions' regular curriculum, for example, material developed for the Nursing diagnostics course which we updated and ran again in 2012. We have also used 20112012 to plan a new course: Complementary care in nursing practice, which we hope to run as a Nordplus intensive course in 2012 - 2013.

Baggrunden for pilotprojektet er, at mere af den plejeforskning, der er udført på området, skal implementeres i den kliniske praksis, hvor sygeplejestuderende får den kliniske del af deres uddannelse. Under pilotprojektet er der udviklet en kursusplan med tilhørende materialer og netbaserede forelæsninger. Kurset har i foråret 2011 været udbudt og gennemført på to af netværksinstitutionerne (University College Capitol i Danmark og Arcada i Finland) med et positivt udbytte, og hvor alle deltagende studerende har bestået kurset (gennemførsel og evaluering fra kurset er beskrevet i netværkets rapportering fra 2011 –se bilag). For at kurset skal kunne udbydes og gennemføres på alle netværkets institutioner, skal kursusindhold tilpasses resultaterne og evalueringerne fra pilotprojektet, og det skal tilpasses de nationale bekendtgørelser og studieordninger, som gælder på netværksinstitutionerne. Desuden skal studerende, undervisere, og kliniske vejledere fra netværkets samarbejdspartnere engageres i at videreudvikle kurset og indbydes til at deltage i kurset som kursister eller undervisere/vejledere.

Den geografiska och historiska närheten gör det enkelt att samarbeta om att utbyta studenter. Trots denna gemenskap skiljer det något mellan olika utbildnings- och sjukvårdssytem. Detta är en viktig erfarenhet för studenter, lärare och koordinatorer. En internationell erfarenhet under utbildningen ger fler dimensioner till det kommande arbetet som läkare, vilket höjer kompetensen hos dessa studenter. Nätverket vill främja och utveckla detta genom att koordinera studentutbyten, både på befintliga programkurser, prekliniskt och kliniskt, liksom genomförande av kliniska placeringar på sjukhus. Det nordiska samarbetet syftar till att stärka Norden och Östersjöregionen som enhet i den alltmer ökande globaliseringen av utbildning och forskning, vilket även detta nätverk ställer sig bakom. Att bygga nätverk inom Norden är mycket viktigt för kommande yrkesaktiva läkare då de sannolikt kommer att forska/arbeta i en nordisk kontext.

Målet med nettverket er å fremme og kvalitetssikre utdanning av intensivsykepleiere, stimulere til forskning innenfor fagområdet samt å bidra til yrkesmessig og kulturell utvikling for intensivsykepleiere i Norden og Baltikum. Nordinnett vil oppnå dette gjennom: student- og lærerutveksling, samarbeid om læreplan- og metodeutvikling, kunnskaps- og metodeutveksling, etablering av felles undervisning og fordypningskurser. Nordinnett ble etablert i 2002, og består nå av utdanningssteder i Danmark, Finland, Norge, Island, Litauen og Sverige. De viktigste aktivitetene har vært student- og lærerutveksling, nettverksbygging og intensivkurs. Nettverket opplever at det er viktig med jevnlig personlig kontakt, og har har forsøkt å gjennomføre årlige nettverksmøter. Disse har vært lagt til de respektive utdanningsstedene. Det har siden 2009 kun vært anledning til et kort møte i forbindelse med intensivkurset i Stavanger i 2010. Det er en utfordring å få arbeidsplassene til å påta seg hele utgiftene ved en slik aktivitet. Det har i tillegg vært utskifting av kontaktpersoner over tid, slik at det er etr savn og ikke få gjennomført nettverksmøter med visse mellomrom. Det er derfor et høyt ønske å få rom for dette i 2012. Dette er ytterligere aktualisert siden flere av stedene arbeider med å gi dette tilbudet på MA - nivå. Nordinnett gjennomførte i 2010 et intensivkurs knyttet til temaet "Pasientsikkerhet og anvendelse av simulering for å fremme pasientsikkerhet".

Dette søges opnået gennem fortsat samarbejde omkring udveksling mellem partnerinstitutionerne – for jordemoderstuderende og uddannede jordemødre indenfor såvel det teoretiske som det kliniske område. Partnerne I FRIGG netværket er alle aktive indenfor det jordemoderfaglige felt. Partnerskabet vil således være monofagligt. Partnerskabet vil samarbejde omkring jordemoderstuderendes mulighed for kortere klinisk studieophold på Færøerne. Dernæst vil samarbejdet dreje sig om muligheden for mobilitet for ansatte. Her tænkes både på kompetenceudvikling for undervisende jordemødre fra Danmark samt ditto kompetenceudvikling for ansatte på Færøerne, der vil kunne få glæde af et teoretisk eller klinisk udvekslingsophold i Danmark. Eller den situation, at en af de danske undervisere anvender en lærermobilitet til at rejse til Færøerne og undervise i emner, der måtte være relevante for de færøske jordemødre. Dette har således allerede fundet sted i indeværende år, hvor to undervisere fra Esbjerg har været på lærerudveksling til Torshavn, hvor de har undervist de færøske jordemødre i emner, der var ønsket fra Færøsk side. Således er der netop aftalt, at en dansk underviser i uge 12 rejser til Færøerne for at undervise de færøske jordemødre i obstetrisk akupunktur. I indeværende ansøgningsår har der ligeledes været to lærerudvekslinger/studiebesøg af to ledende jordemødre fra Færøerne, som på en uge i Danmark deltog i et landsdækkende lærerforsamlingsmøde for alle tre danske jordemoderuddannelser, ligesom de fik besøgt jordemoderuddannelserne i både Esbjerg og Aalborg. Dette til stor fælles udbytte for alle tre partnerinstitutioner i FRIGG partnerskabet. Et af hovedformålene med studiebesøget var blandt andet, at der fra færøsk side er meget stor interesse for at etablere et egentlig samarbejde omkring kompetenceudvikling og efteruddannelse af de færøske jordemødre. Derfor blev der for eksempel afholdt møde i eftervidereuddannelsesafdelingen på UCSyd, hvor jordemoderuddannelsen i Esbjerg hører hjemme. Partnerskabet vil desuden fortsat arbejde på, at Færøerne på længere sigt får mulighed for at opkvalificere og deltids ansætte en klinisk instruktionsjordemoder. Velvidende, at det ikke er muligt at anvende NORDPLUS midler til dette formål, så håber vi dog på, at en færøsk klinisk instruktionsjordemoder kan blive en sidegevinst til arbejdet i dette partnerskab. Endelig har partnerskabet en faglig interesse i at medvirke til at styrke motivationen for at jordemoderstuderende i fremtiden søger ansættelse på Færøerne.

We strongly believe that a good understanding of the state of the Coasts and Inland Water Bodies and the impact that activities on land has on the sea is the foundation for a longterm sustainable development of the Water bodies and Coasts. The project is implemented in the context of the Water Framework Directive by EU that calls for management of water in the whole of catchment area and not just at a country level, since it recognizes that the total run-off from land has an impact on the water quality and the coastal environment. We live in the dream that one day we may swim in our waters year around, eat fishes without fearing that they will be extinct, and eat agriculture produce and enjoy products from our forests with a clear conscience. As a small step towards raising the awareness and knowledge about the Baltic Sea the SuWaCo Network intends to offer intensive courses at Bachelors and Masters level, that would be jointly implemented by all the partners, contributing within their own area of expertise and by spreading this scientific knowledge in an accessible way via social media such as wikis and blogs. SuWaCo aims to address the challenges faced by Coasts and Water bodies in the Nordic/Baltic Countries. Through organizing two intensive courses related to the topic, spreading scientific knowledge in an easy accessible way, accomplishing a joint study visit and coordinating intensive exchanges between partners, this network proposes to raise public awareness and knowledge amongst participants and the public. One of the main focus of this network is to highlight local-regional cases and collaborations that showcase specific actions to protect coastal and inland water bodies from landbased activities.

Geobiology is an interdisciplinary field between chemistry, microbiology and geology and there is an increasing need to educate students to receive knowledge and skills that combine these different disciplines. The aim of the network is to run an intensive master level course in geobiology. The initiative brings together internationally recognized experts in different aspects of geobiology and thus ensures full, high-level coverage of the subject. The course will attract a larger number of students, well beyond the critical mass, which may be hard to assemble at the individual institutions. The intensive course within Geobiology combines lectures, fieldwork and laboratory experiments and will take place on Iceland. The focus will be on the geobiology of hydrothermal vent environments, because here the intimate linkage between the different fields is most explicit. Express mobility grants will be used to enable students and teachers to work together during the course and the mobility student grants will give the students the possibility to continuo the work at one of the partner institutions High quality of education is the goal, and quality is assured by commitment of all partner institutions during the development of the course material and teaching methods.

The aim of the programme is to educate environmental specialists, who are capable for independent and innovative work in the current and future challenges related to global climate change and environmental pollution. The programme is very multidisciplinary, involving a versatile education on atmospheric sciences covering physical phenomena, atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and ecosystem studies. Part of the content of the programme is related to the interactions between the ecosystems and the atmosphere. All the education of the programme is given in English. The approximate study period is two years and includes 120 ECTS of studies. The ABS network consists of ten universities in four Nordic and Baltic countries, which are among the top-rated research units in the world. The programme has many effects in the society, including the deepening of the Nordic-Baltic cooperation in environmental education, the idea of lifelong learning, enhancing student and teacher mobility, and adaptation to the requirements of the Bologna process. The ABS programme is directly linked to two Nordic Centres of Excellence, which started in late 2010: Impacts of a changing cryosphere - depicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks as affected by changes in permafrost, snow and ice distribution (DEFROST) coordinated by Lund University, and Cryosphere-atmosphere interactions in a changing arctic climate (CRAICC), coordinated by the University of Helsinki. As agreed with NordForsk, new study modules are being introduced in the ABS programme to cover studies related to the Arctic environment. ABS (Atmosphere-Biosphere Studies) is a Nordic-Baltic Master's Degree Programme in Atmospheric Sciences and Biogeochemical cycles. Currently the ABS network consists of 23 departments and institutes at ten universities in four Nordic and Baltic countries. The foundation of ABS lies strongly on top research. Currently the programme is directly linked to two Nordic Centres of Excellence, started in 2010: Impacts of a changing cryosphere - depicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks as affected by changes in permafrost, snow and ice distribution (DEFROST) and Cryosphere-atmosphere interactions in a changing arctic climate (CRAICC). The programme also collaborates with a third Nordic Centre of Excellence, Stability and variations of Arctic land ice (SVALI). The ABS programme is a pioneering project considering multidisciplinary environmental education covering the aspects of physics, chemistry, meteorology, biology and geosciences. The ABS Programme also serves as a forum for exchanging experiences and best practises concerning education development. The first students were admitted to the ABS programme in 2006. The Masters of Science graduated from the programme are competent on different fields of the society and have a strong base working with environmental issues.

The overall aim of the network is to develop the curriculum and education of students preparing to become career counselor that work in diverse settings and with clients of all ages. The long term aim is to increase professionalization and strengthen ties and co-operation between higher education 60 institutions and the labor market and between research, practice and policy. A main focus will be on the education of those that work with adults. Additionally, the intention is to works towards a more unified profession that can deliver coherent quality services in life-long guidance. Career counseling and guidance practices have a long history in most of the Nordic countries and the education of career counselors have developed in very diverse ways within the Nordic communities. especially in schools with children and youth. Most of the programs are historically firmly founded in the career counseling end education of children and youth. With increased emphasis on life-long learning and labor interventions implemented due to the current economic crisis the need for adult guidance has increased tremendously. The higher education programs that educate career counselors want to join hands and establish a network to be able to better prepare career counselors and guidance workers for the diverse clients they need to work with. The network will work on two developmental projects and create two intensive courses for students. Development project 1 focuses on curricular development and exchange of practices focusing on adult guidance and may result in a blueprint for a joint study program. Development project 2 is intended to improve practical training, relations with the labor market and creation of learning communities. Two intensive courses, one focusing on social justice issues and the other on ICT competences will be offered in order to strengthen the counselors in meeting the needs of those that have difficulty in accessing guidance and are most vulnerable in the labor market.

Inom nätverket vill vi även utveckla och planera en intensivkurs för följande ansökan (2013-2014) med temat "exposure". Nätverket har fungerat sedan 1996 och inom nätverket har både student-och lärarmobiliteten upplevts som positivt. Studentmobiliteten ser vi inom nätverket som värdefull och därför vill vi utveckla den att involvera alla länder inom nätverket. Lärarmobiliteten har gett ny kunskap och även varit av informativ karaktär. Att ta tillvara andra högskolors satsningsområden via lärarmobilitet har tillfört värdefull kunskap som har kunnat användas i läroplansarbete. Den komparativa kunskapen har fungerat som kvalitetssäkrande genom att vi inom nätverket har kunnat sprida det aktuella som berör det socialpedagogiska arbetet bland barn, unga och familj. Vi har upplevt nätverket positivt och vi är motiverade för samarbete och ser värdet av mobilitet och utvecklandet av en internationalisering viktig. Nätverket Nordresurs vill yfta fram läroplansarbetet. Det Nordiska nätverket har alltid haft barn, unga och familj i fokus och det vill vi fortsätta med. Inom nätverket har vi tagit del av varandras läroplaner och kartlagt vilka arbetsmetoder vi kunde utveckla och använda oss av (2010-2011)gemensamt inom nätverket.

In a regionally specific aspect, the study of transition deals also with the European Union development cooperation, as one of the significant influences of transition among the post-Communist countries of Eastern Europe. Transition is not a sui generis problem related exclusively to post-Communist countries. Rather, the lessons learned from the post-Communist experiences might be extended to non-Communist countries having experienced fundamental institutional breakdowns. The study of transition related topics has thus both scholarly interest and political relevance. The purpose of the Consortium is to provide and ensure a standing forum for the improvement of teaching and learning within the interdisciplinary field of Transition Studies. The activities of the Consortium include (1) development of common curricula and teaching methodologies, (2) teacher and student express mobility visits facilitating the establishment of enduring cross-cutting contacts among the participating institutions, their faculty, and students, and (3) dissemination of the result both among partners and to a broader audience, including political decision makers.

This can be achieved through teacher and student exchange within established educational programmes, which offer opportunities of professional and intercultural meetings in relation to educational themes; as well as by collaboration within newly developed intensive course with a focus on inclusive education. Some of the focus areas of the network are intercultural competences, cultural and linguistic meetings, educational systems and self-reflection of and within the region. In addition to student and teacher mobility, the network also cooperates via network meetings and short visits of the administrative staff, as well as development meetings. This gives an opportunity for enhancing intercultural and language skills of the personnel of the institutions involved in the network as well as bring intercultural awareness within institutions. Such meetings form the platform for reaching a mutual understanding of ideas and concepts, help exchanging ideas for continued development of courses and programmes for the benefit of the network purpose. The network is working with intensive programmes as they offer the opportunity of in-depth knowledge and the 67 cooperation between a large group of partners in one project, which in turn facilitates that knowledge is communicated to a large group of participants. The network recognizes that teachers and educators have a central role in communicating knowledge and spreading the ideas of equality, democracy and understanding within a single society and between cultures. The Network’s aim is to develop well-functioning cooperation between teacher educational institutions in a Baltic-Nordic region with a focus on developing mutual understanding between cultures and sharing knowledge within the area of teacher education. The network promotes student and teacher mobility as key activities by which the students and teachers get an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of the member institutions and the Nordic and Baltic societies in general, extend their multicultural and multilingualon orientation, as well as develop their professional competences as (future) teachers. The project year 2012-13 continues focusing on the overall topic 'education for all' as it is recognised as a key topic in teacher education by all partner institutions, and needs further discussion and cooperation. The intensive course which is planned to be carried out for the third time in autumn 2012 is focused on inclusion, a relevant area of cooperation within the network, and seen as an important part of network cooperation, exchange of multicultural knowledge and effective tool of bring awareness to the topic of inclusion within education and society. The project applies for mobility grants for the exchange of teacher and students (including express mobility grants), grants for the projected intensive course and grants for network activities and project development.

Nordic Forum for research and Development in Craft and Design Making, Materiality and Knowledge, MAcourse, september 2012 Coordinator HØGSKOLEN I TELEMARK, NO Jostein Sandven [email protected] Network description The purpose of this project is to give a Nordic MA-course to students within teacher education in the Making Professions. The students will meet the most up-to-date international research and researchers in the field and will have the opportunity to discuss this research with other MA-students from other Nordic institutions. Within the Making professions – the fields of art, design and architecture (ADA), the person makes something in something, using and producing knowledge as s/he works. Teacher education on MA level within these fields is aiming to train students to be the initiator, leader and supervisor of such making processes in primary, lower- and upper secondary schools, high schools and university colleges. This is a challenging task, and it is crucial that the MA-studies in this fields are based on research. Lately there has been a massive movement towards more field specific and inter- and transdisciplinary research or knowledge production within this area. To find ways to communicate the most updated knowledge to MA students and engage them in this research, is a task teacher education institutions throughout the Nordic countries are set out to solve. Notodden, Norway is the venue of the conference, “Making, an International Conference on Materiality and Knowlewedge, September 2012. This conference aims to provide an arena for discussions of research within Making Disciplines/Making Professions/Making Education. The conference is organized by the Nordic research network, NordFo. http://making.nordfo.org/ The conference takes an educational perspective on these key concepts. Questions asked, are: How can education in the Making Professions prepare the future citizens to identify and solve possible future challenges? What are the possible meanings, functions and consequences of materiality and material-related knowledge in such a context? The MA-course will attend all the key-note speeches, and both the large panel discussions. As the conference participants split into parallel sessions to follow paper presentations, the MA-students will meet their own instructor discussing and relating the lectures and discussions to their different MA-studies.

An important goal for 2012-2016 will be the recruiting of partners from Estonia and The Faroe Islands. The main objective is to take on the challenging goals of innovation of the teaching of values and the curriculum of citizenship. The Valid-Pippi network has the objective to strengthen the double task of the educational system on all levels: To yield both professional knowledge and democratic training based on common values (hereunder climate issues and sustainable development). A secondary end is the development of cross national/professional e-learning methods. This aim will be equally emphasized in 2012-2016 and we aim at publishing on this subject as well as on the education of values and democratic citizenship. The activities are network building meetings, meetings for planning a combined course with two intensive courses (one in Vasa and the other in Oslo) and a 5 week period of e-learning in between, The carrying out of the course and the evaluation of the results with the aim to implement these into our local curricula of teacher training and the training of social educators. The network co-ordination institution (UC-Syddanmark, Kolding) has the responsibility of administration, network building, elearning system, students’ exchange, publication.

De fire uddannelses institutioner har samarbejdet i netværket i flere år, og har med kun en enkelt 73 partner udskiftning de sidste 6 år gennemført et fælles nordisk studieprogram på 30 ECTS. Tilbagemeldingerne på dette program har vært meget positive både fra CIMO, SIU og fra Nordisk Ministerråd, og studiet blev kåret til "Best Practice" i 2007. Fagpersoner i netværket har udgivet en bog med udgangspunkt i netværks samarbejdet. Den er udgivet på forlaget Novus, Oslo, 2009 Igen lægger vi op til et studie, som går over et semester og består af 30 ECTS, og som skal være med til at styrke det nordiske samarbejde indenfor pædagogisk arbejde med børn i førskole alderen. På baggrund af de ekstra midler til udvikling, som netværket modtog fra Nordplus forrige år, har en arbejdsgruppe under netværket arbejdet intenst på at videreudvikle netværket med fokus på både fornyelse og kvalitetssikring. Denne gruppes arbejde har – i vores nuværende projekt – allerede båret frugt, og fremover håber vi på en større kontinuitet, sammenhæng og progression i det, der foregår i - og blandt de deltagende lande.

Det sker via udvikling af undervisning og af læreplaner, der tilgodeser en autentisk naturfagsundervisning med vægt på natur- og kulturarv, naturens kredsløb og de menneskeskabte ændringer, bæredygtighed og naturforvaltning og med fokus på livskvalitet og handlekompetence. I Álka sker dette udviklingsarbejde i et tæt netværkssamarbejde mellem naturfagsundervisere fra alle de nordiske lande, og hvor netværkets partnere repræsenterer forskellige naturfaglige og fagdidaktiske kompetencer. Disse forskellige kompetencer kommer hele netværket til gode via oplæg på de intensive kurser og i kraft af oplæg på partnerinstitutioner i forbindelse med mobilitet og det fælles udviklingsarbejde. Netop samarbejdet i nordisk regi byder på helt særlige muligheder, bl.a. omkring et fælles syn på demokrati og velfærd, regionens fælles miljøproblemer og løsningsmodeller samt en bevidst sprogpolitik (de nordiske sprog i forhold til engelsk). Men også forskellene i Norden gør det muligt både at nuancere og samtidig at tydeliggøre problemstillinger fx. i form af konsekvenser af klimaændringer, syn på miljøspørgsmål og menneskets forvaltning af naturgrundlaget. Nordplus netværket Álka giver dermed naturfagsundervisere og studerende i de nordiske lande mulighed for at udvikle undervisning i centrale klima- og miljøproblemer set ud fra et både lokalt, regionalt og globalt perspektiv. Sigtet er at styrke Nordiske skoleelevers livsduelighed nu og i fremtiden. Samlet set betyder Álka en enestående mulighed for at styrke en naturfagsdidaktik med stærke nordiske rødder - og udsyn! Netværket Álka er et eksempel på et konkret samarbejde mellem naturfagsundervisere fra alle lande i Norden. Álka lægger vægt på udvikling af naturfagsdidaktik, undervisning og læreplaner, og det sker bl.a. via udvikling af intensive kurser for studerende og lærere. Netværkets partnere repræsenterer forskellige naturfaglige og fagdidaktiske kompetencer, og denne diversitet kommer hele netværket til gode i det fælles udviklingsarbejde, ved oplæg på de intensive kurser og på partnerinstitutionerne. Alle lande/regioner er særdeles aktive på de intensive kurser (fastsat til 2 ECTS). Kurserne er det værdifulde omdrejningspunkt for netværket. Álka har en stærk repræsentation af Vest-Norden og for at tilgodese dette, holdes kurserne hvert andet år i Vest-Norden. Álka’s ansøgning for 2012-13 omhandler et intensivt kursus i Grønland og et udviklingsarbejde vedr. styrkelse af naturfagslæreres kompetencer i at planlægge undervisning om klimaændringer og naturens resurser, der tager udgangspunkt i børns forhåndsviden og kulturelle baggrund. Kursusindholdet for de intensive kurser varierer fra år til år, men ”klimaændringer” har været omdrejningspunkt for kurserne de sidste 6 år, mens "menneskets samspil med naturen" har været det helt gennemgående tema for alle kurser. Det intensive kursus i 2013 i Qaqortoq har titlen: “Havets Moder – myter, metaforer og modeller om menneskets samspil med naturen”. Netværksmøderne er vigtige i forhold til aftaler landene imellem omkring økonomi, arbejdsdeling og det fortsatte udviklingsarbejde. Mobilitet spiller en vigtig rolle, idet det styrker mulighederne for samarbejde på tværs af lande og regioner i Norden. For underviserne i Álka betyder det et større fagligt miljø på tværs af landene og for de studerende en introduktion til nordisk samarbejde.

All common project activities will also involve students from partner universities besides teachers. In our project, we will work together with regional partners. We have already had some seldom contacts and irregular email exchanges. Thus, AGES will allow us to establish core of geodesy with common and easy accessible web page for educators and students. In addition, we will form a common policy in our specialty following the needs of society in accordance with EU directives, for example INSPIRE. Furthermore, we will focus on geodesy topics, quality of education and capacity as well as reliability of produced geospatial data for society needs. For this purpose, we will exchange best practices between partner universities in three Baltic countries, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. As our educational and research directions are rather specific, we will have close contacts and be able to carry out common activities with high level benefits for our universities. Invited lecturers from all involved partners will give lectures at the partner universities. Finally, the study programs of all AGES partners will become more beneficial for students and more structured.

There is no one definition for Green Care – concept as it can be applied in various branches of business including interbranch applications. According to the Association of Green Care in Finland (www.gcfinland.fi) Green Care can be commonly perceived as "sustainable and target-oriented activities in nature and in rural environments which contribute to the wellbeing and quality of life of a human being." In this project the focus is to create understanding about the versatile Green Care –concept and how it is and/or can be applied in practice in the context of sustainable, innovative and health promotional - related tourism business and culture in different parts of the Nordic – Baltic Region. Students, educators and the local stakeholders will share knowledge and expertise which enables them to gain emotional and transformational experiences and to contribute to their professional development. The project will lead to an accumulated knowledge base of the Green Care –concept which is transferred, interpreted, developed and disseminated during the co-creation process in each intensive course. After the 3-year-period there will be a 77 holistic evaluation of the results based on the yearly evaluations and monitoring of each intensive course. This application is for the first intensive course within the frame for the main objective set above. The focus of the TURID project of 2013 will be: exploring and mapping of the possibilities, applications and best practices of Green Care –concept. Both theoretical and practical approaches are employed during the intensive course - 1st-year-project activities. The coordinator of the project is Rovaniemi University of Applied Sciences (RUAS), Finland and the project network “TURID” involves 7 partners in 5 Nordic and Baltic countries with 20 students and 8 - 10 teachers, as well as 3 teachers conducting video lectures. The preparatory stage of the project starts in June 2012 with a network meeting of the partners in Finland, Rovaniemi, and continues from September 2012 to January 2013 with video conferences, lectures and student assignments. The preparatory work is realized via web-based learning environments. The first intensive course (in the academic year 2012-13) will take place in Finnish and Swedish Lapland by the Bay of Bothnia during Jan. – Feb. 2013.

The project also aims to as improve teaching pedagogics for children under the age of three in the participating network institutions. Sharing knowledge between Nordic and Baltic settings concerning the youngest children through teacher exchange is seen as an important tool for developing the competence of educators in teacher education. The network will continue to develop knowledge concerning pedagogical work with children under three in various groups in Nordic/Baltic settings. The comparative perspectives can contribute to knowledge and increased understanding between the countries. A core element will be sharing knowledge concerning theoretical issues and cultural practices in the participating countries and through a comparative lens contribute to further development of educating students for working with under threes. Through a strengthened focus on the very young in teacher education, our intention is to contribute to increase the quality for the youngest in ECEC.

Hovedmålet med nettverksarbeidet er å ferdigstille en felles nordisk studiemodul for førskolelærerutdanningen som har fokus på innlæring av naturfaglige begreper i barnehagen utført av førskolelærerstudenter og ansatte. Denne studiemodulen er påbegynt slik som planlagt i prosjekt HE-2011_1a-26327. Barna skal erfare og få den første kjennskap av begrepene når de er yngre enn de er i dag. Dette ønsker vi skal bli den første starten for barnas livslang læring i naturvitenskapene. Dette vil gi oss en bred bakgrunn for utvikle og spre innovative læringsprosesser gjennom systematisk utveksling av erfaringer og god praksis. Arbeidet har to delmål. Det første har sitt utgangspunkt i bærekraftig utvikling: barna skal bli aktive samfunnsborgere som helt fra tidlig alder forstår verdien for å ta vare på jorden vår. Ved at barna får grunnleggende kunnskaper i naturfag/naturvitenskap i barnehagen lærer de å bli glade i jorda vår med alt sitt mangfold. Det blir da lettere for barna å forstå når de vokser til at vi må sikre livsgrunnlaget vårt, og at vi må gjøre noe med det at vi mennesker er i ferd med å skade det permanent ved å påvirke klimaet for mye. Det andre delmålet å bli mer kjente med hverandres språk og kultur, slik at vi kan bidra til å skape et felles nordisk-baltisk utdanningsområde.

The five institutions developing this joint Nordic Master in Educational Leadership have experience providing school leadership programs at different levels. These programs consist of traditional academic and tailored made courses. Examples of the latter are national head-teacher training programs commissioned by state authorities. All partners have broad experience of international collaboration. It has become clear to the partners that the Nordic perspective on educational policy, school development, learning and leadership need to be highlighted as one alternative, complementary to the Anglo-Saxon perspective, which tend to dominate such questions. Therefore we have agreed creating a new master program in educational leadership (as opposed to Educational Management often used internationally). Designing the program is going to be based on the expressed needs/regulations as they are perceived by the participating institutions. By establishing this new network we also see that the project can contribute to student and staff mobility, particularly those involved in educational leadership training programs, but also teacher training programs. In addition we envisage broader exchange between the educational systems, including leaders in schools and kinder-gardens, school owners, teachers and students.

Målet er å dyktiggjøre studentene gjennom teoretisk kunnskap om utfordringer urbefolkninger møter i dag, og ved et mer praktisk innblikk i én gruppes kultur spesielt. Målet med dette kurset er derfor dels å ta opp på prinsipielt plan spørsmål som berører alle urbefolkninger: hvordan man skal kunne ivareta og styrke barn fra disse gruppene i barnehagen, gi de andre barna et godt og adekvat inntrykk av hva gruppen representerer, og spesielle utfordringer som disse gruppene står overfor i møte med en verden i endring og utvikling. Dels søker vi å øke kunnskapen om den nordiske urbefolkningen, deres verdigrunnlag, levesett og kulturelle uttrykksformer. Ønsket er å ha én uke hvor studentene kan få være i et samisk miljø og lære ved den tilnærmingen vi ønsker for barnehagen, nemlig oppleve gjennom alle sansene. Vi håper at det dermed vil være lettere for studentene å ta med seg disse erfaringene hjem og ut til barna de møter. Sluttproduktet denne gangen er utvikling av materiale som alle studentene kan ta med seg hjem, spre på sitt studiested, og prøve ut sammen med barna i sine respektive hjemland.

Et nyt mål for netværket i de kommende 2 år vil være at afprøve og udvikle nyt undervisningsmateriale til nabosprogsundervisning i læreruddannelserne. I projektets første femten måneder er det lykkedes at etablere et netværk mellem 12 nordiske læreruddannere fra 6 forskellige læreruddannelsesinstitutioner i Norden, med repræsentation fra Danmark, Sverige, Norge og Finland. Der er interesse for netværket i andre læreruddannelsesinstitutioner og vi vil bruge den kommende periode til at etablere nye kontakter mhp. en senere udvidelse af vores netævkr. Netværket har haft to typer aktivitet, nemlig møder i de respektive lande for hele netværksgruppen samt en udvekslingsordning, hvor læreruddannerne gæsteunderviser i nabolandenes læreruddannelser. De lærerstuderende møder hermed gæsteunderviserens sprog, og gennem undervisningen skabes et privilegeret indblik i gæsteunderviserens litteratur, sprog og kultur. Undervisning i nabosprog i grundskolen er et fælles tredje, som det er muligt at drøfte med de lærerstuderende, der skal rustes til at give deres elever adgang til det nordiske sprog- og kulturfællesskab. Der planlægges som udgangspunkt 2 besøg af ca. 1 uges varighed til hver læreruddannelsesinstitution, i alt ca. 24 besøg i perioden. Netværket ønsker i den kommende periode at udvide aktiviteten med udvikling af dels nabosprogsdidaktiske artikler, og dels undervisningsmateriale til nabosprogsundervisning. Der er i indeværende periode produceret en film til de lærerstuderende, og der skrives i marts 2012 en fælles didaktisk artikel om lytteforståelse. Et af netværkets fortrin er det personlige møde mellem gæsteunderviser og lærerstuderende og mellem de nordiske læreruddannere. Det giver anledning til udveksling af såvel modersmåls- som nabosprogsdidaktik og desuden til sammenligning af uddannelser og grundskoler i de nordiske lande.

NordETEN is a network consisting of the Nordic institutions with ETEN - European Teacher Education Network. The countries represented are Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. The network focuses on the Nordic contribution to teacher, early childhood and social pedagogy education in the European context, through academic cooperation of joint study programmes and through student and teacher exchange for study and practice programmes. The aim is to give the students insight in the Nordic way of living, society, welfare state, education and culture and professional practice, and that students from Nordic and Baltic countries have the opportunity to experience each other's educational systems and cultural traits. The network aims to have a joint Nordic voice within the European network ETEN as well as to join in discussions and work with partners of other countries. The target educational sector of this project is teacher education, stretching from Early childhood Education, over child protection and social educational practice to Pre-School Teachers to Lower Secondary School Teachers. Within the network the partner institutions have developed several programmes of a 3 month length, taught in English. In these programmes the Nordic dimension is central and the Nordic culture, society and especially the Nordic practice related to welfare is taught and transmitted as a basis for more comparative studies in international classes and practice placements. Examples of such courses are Myths, Fairytales and legends, Fjords and Glaciers, Danecult etc. A large part of the mobility grants are intended to be used for participation in such programmes, as it is essential in these programmes that also Nordic students participate and ensures interesting comparative discussions between the Nordic students and other international students.These kinds of discussions give to the Nordic dimension a perspective and strengthen the goal learning from each other. The above mentioned programmes have existed for many years, but since Lithuania joined the network, it will be important also the have Lithuanian participants. The teacher mobility grants are to be used for teachers as guest lecturers in connection with these programmes, as well as with other kinds of academic cooperation or arrangements such as International weeks.

As earlier all universities with these subjects as well as interested parties outside the academia are invited to be part of the mobility scheme. The link to outside the academia and continued creation of joint courses wherein teacher and students exchange for shorter or longer periods remains the focus of the project. Gotland University will for this application round continue to coordinate the network but the idea is that another higher education instution with archaeology/osteology will continue for next application round, i.e 20132014. This project is focused on student/teacher/staff mobility and curriculum development within the Nordic and Baltic archaeological/osteological communities on different educational levels, i.e undergraduate as well as graduate levels. Further development wish to enable also other stake holders outside the academia, i.e Museums, NGO, private enterprises, to participate. This will be beneficial for the revigoriation of the subjects of archaeology/osteology in a wider sense. To make this network productive a focus on certain common questions of interest need to be developed. For instance one problem area useful to all network participants include questions on prehistoric interactions/contacts especially in the Baltic sea, but also beyond, and how such activities have influenced local communities in the Nordic/Baltic area. A long time perspective including the participating institutions is also a strong fundament of discussions on environmental questions and how resources have been used, in prehistory and historical times, in the area. If such knowledge can be taught from a common general perspective, and not from narrow nationalistic perspectives, it will contribute to the understanding of the needs for a sustainable development of the Baltic Sea area in the future. As for student mobility students wishing to follow the joint developed course and other courses of one month at any of the participating institutions amounting to 7, 5 ECTS would be eligible for a Nordplus Express mobility scheme. Meanwhile students will be able to continue go for also longer mobility periods such as upto one academic year.

Mobiliteten gælder både lærerudveksling, studentermobilitet i teorisemestre og praktikperioder og ekspresmobilitet. Gennem mobiliteten ønsker vi, at styrke og udvikle det nordiske samarbejde med fokus på kulturforståelse og udveksling af fagplaner og sammenligning af uddannelsesforhold og tilrettelæggelse af uddannelserne i de respektive lande, samtidig med at vi arbejder med inddragelse af praksisfeltet af såvel borgere i udsatte positioner som den pædagogiske profession Den ønskede mobilitet er knyttet til et projekt under Nordplus Horisontalt. Dette projekts formål er at undersøge, hvilken betydning læringsrum hvor fokus er på friluftsaktiviteter har for det enkelte individ og for dannelse af fællesskaber. Den profesionelle relation er betydningsfuld i disse læringsrum. Dermed aktualiseres spørgsmål som har med magtaspektet at gøre. I arbejde med unge i udsatte positioner er der muligheder for krænkelse af den unges behov for anerkedelse. Fokus i samarbejdet er at udvikle nye kundskaber og nye metoder for, hvordan natur og friluftsliv kan være konstruktive medspillere eller værktøj i socialpædagogisk arbejde. Derfor må et kritisk blik og kritisk refleksion over professionelles forholdemåder i forhold til håndtering af magtaspektet og den tilhørende etisk refleksion stadig være nærværende, da ikke alle unge vil finde en motivation i friluftsaktivteter, hvorfor begge dele såvel socialpædagogik som friluftsliv skal nytænkes med mulighed for innovative processer og dermed nedbrydelse af eller udvidelse af ny forforståelser. Ud fra relations fokuseret arbejde og arbejde med hverdagslivet som læringsarena og læringsrum og ændring af dette, er det vigtigt at erkende og blive bevidst om sin egen forforståelse og de gældende kundskaber og den gældende diskurs omkring om disse unge, som er blevet defineret og katagoriseret som en udsat gruppe. Selv om arbejdet i projektet udgår fra erfaringer og forskning, som viser at natur og udeliv kan være virksomme og have positive effekter i arbejdet med udsatte grupper, må magtaspektet til stadig være i fokus og være genstand for kritisk refleksion, så friluftsaktiviteter og natur ikke bliver en universiel løsning for alle og i alle situationer.

Samtidig er det et mål at styrke samarbejdet mellem uddannelse, institution og virksomhed. Vi ønsker gennem et intensiv program at skabe et ugekursus, at initiere studerende og undervisere til at gennemføre udvekslingsophold af længere varighed hos de involverede uddannelsessteder, samt opnå en bevidsthed om forskelle og ligheder i den nordiske kulturarv. Derfor er målet at udvikle eksemplariske ugekurser baseret på bæredygtig pædagogik med fokus på kulturarv, dens indflydelse på vors samtid og muligheder for at inddrage den i pædagogisk arbejde mhp. at skabe større mellemmenneskelig forståelse med vores nordiske identiteters forskelligheder og ligheder. Vidensdeling vil både før ugekurset, under og efter være en central del. Et delmål i denne ansøgning er at skærpe samarbejdet med eksterne institutioner og firmaer, for på den måde at udvide de studerendes indsigt i hvordan de kan bidrage med bæredygtig pædagogik i praksis og lade sig inspirere af professionen og virksomheders kundskab og forventninger til uddannede inden for professionen.

Priority is given to longer-term exchanges: semester-length study abroad for students and teaching exchanges of two to four weeks. Such exchanges help to make effective use of academic resources, to provide students and staff with a broadened perspective and valuable life experience, and conduce to Nordic (and Nordic-Baltic) cooperation and integration. In addition to its current Nordic and partners (which number twenty-five), the network now aims to add Rigas Stradina Universitate (LV RIGA 03), Lietuvos edukologijos universitetas (LT VILNIUS 04), and Fróðskaparsetur Føroya, all of which have expressed interest in joining the network.

Det er videre et mål å videreutvikle de gode pedagogiske og metodiske grep som bidrar til å formidle dette til lærestedenes studenter på en relevant og praksisnær måte, og å bringe nettverkets erfaringer og kunnskap ut til et bredere spekter av samfunnsaktører innenfor helse- sosial, og diakonalt arbeid. 1. Nettverket vil fortsette å tilrettelegge for den vellykkede student- og lærermobilitet mellom medlemsinstitusjonene, både i teoristudier og praksisopphold, for å styrke den felles diakonale grunnstammen i de respektive studieprogram. 2. I tillegg til student- og lærermobilitet møtes nettverkets formål ved å tilby et kurs basert på den felles fagplanen for "Diaconal and Spiritual awareness in social work and health care" i regi av Diakonissestiftelsens sykepleierhøyskole, København i september 2012. Deltakelse av studenter fra nettverkets partnere planlegges som ekspressmobilitet. 3. Nettverket søker også om å arrangere et intensivkurs i Finland 2013. Temaet vil være: "Hvilke utfordringer møter studenter og ansatte ved de diakonale profesjonsutdanningene i møte med individ og samfunn". Dette vil være en videreutvikling ut fra vår felles lærerplan og vil kunne gi utfordringer til alle utdanninene i nettverket.

(We will apply later for the third meeting that will be held after the present grant period.) This M.A. program will offer studies and training in feminist and diversity philosophy. The Nordic countries have a long tradition of women´s rights and emphasize gender equality as a core element of their tradition, social and international politics. Philosophy has been instrumental in the generation of ideas and theories about gender equality and minority rights. Although feminist philosophy has been a relative newcomer to the Nordic countries, in recent years Nordic feminist philosophers have become internationally well-known and highly respected. Within Nordic philosophy departments feminist and diversity philosophy however needs to be strengthened and consolidated. This joint Nordic M.A.-program will bring together leading scholars in feminist philosophy in order to establish feminist philosophy as part of the graduate philosophy curriculum in the Nordic academic area.

Our purpose is to deepen understanding of ecological problems from humanitarian perspective where special attention is driven to Climate issues symbolic expressions in Arts and value orientated understanding in Theology. This application is related to previous Nordplus ECTA network activities. By previous partnership cooperation we have come to conclusion that the Climate change topic can serve as a background for analysis of social relationships, moral and ethical attitudes. The innovative approach is that project actions are based on a clear set of ecotheological objectives and symbolic artistic visions of environment. The main challenge however is to move beyond the level of analysis and substantiate how to encourage young people to implement practical actions on personal and social levels. This year and further network partners would like to turn to Climate problem by actualization of variable climate change topics more precisely and concrete. This year we plan to address the topic of climate change impact on marine cultural landscapes (MCL) in the region - like large forest massives, vetlands, unique fjords and river valleys, seashore villages and farmsteads. MCL testify to creativity, social development, imaginative and spiritual vitality of people as a part of European collective identity. Unique places of MCL in participating countries will be chosen for creative inspiration of the project activities aesthetically, theologically and practically. The project aims to drive attention to problem of safeguarding unique seashore villages and farmsteads in Nordic/Baltic countries. We will address semantic, aesthetic and ecological synergies for advocating ecoculture.

Nettverket vil søke å samordne studietilbud innenfor katolsk teologi, og gi felles kurs for studenter fra flere av de nordiske land. I Norden drives de fleste teologiske studier innenfor en luthersk tradisjon. Det betyr ikke nødvendigvis at studiene er konfesjonstilknyttet, men stofftilfang og interessefelt styres av den konteksten kirkene i de nordiske land står i – hvilket er lutherske kirker. I verdenssammenheng er studier innenfor katolsk teologi det mest vanlige ved universiteter. Imidlertid er det en rekke eksempler på samarbeid over konfesjonsgrenser. Deltagerne i dette nettverket ønsker å bidra til at et slikt samarbeid kan få større rom i Norden, og for å få det til er det nødvendig at denne grenen av akademisk teologi får bedrede rammevilkår. Det skjer fremfor alt gjennom samarbeid over landegrensene. Nettverket skal drive felles fagutvikling (både ved enkeltkurs og ved programutvikling), forestå studentutveksling og lærerutveksling, samt gjennomføre felles kurs. Nettverket har også etablert kontakt med læresteder for katolsk teologi andre steder i Europa. Nettverket ønsker nå å utforske mulighetene for å utvide samarbeidet til også å inkludere Baltiske partnere.

Six Nordic universities in cooperation offer the programme. The Nordic Council of Ministers has financed the development of this programme. The first batch of 24 students was matriculated in September 2009 and 18 of these have graduated (some are delayed and two have left the programme). The next batch of students was matriculated in September 2010 and a third batch in September 2011 (more than 20 students in both years). An estimated 25-35 further students will be matriculated as the fourth batch in September 2012. This application should make it possible for these students to travel between the six Nordic universities for compact seminars in their first year of studies and for the third 94 batch of students to travel for compact seminars in their second year (an essential part of the teaching in this programme). The programme is based on a high degree of student and teachers’ mobility. With this mobility the programme further cooperation between institutions of higher education and research in the Nordic countries and it brings students from these countries together. We have already experienced this during the development phase and during the education of the first, second and third batches of students. Nordplus has allready (see below) supportet student-mobility for our prvious batches of students. An indirect result of the programme has been the creation of a research network (suuported by Nordforsk) offering PhD courses with the same title and theme as the MA programme. This network includes the six partners in the MA-programme and University of Iceland and Tallin.

Conservation of Built Environment, of cultural objects and of Landscape and work for a Sustainable development in the field is the concern. The method is to support the educational programs in the Nordic countries, their students and teachers. Conservation of our Built Environment, Cultural Objects and Landscape is of high importance in the modern society giving increased value to the social and cultural life of people living in the Northern countries. The last c 35 years development has run so fast and changes in our urban milieu and in landscape makes the cultural values very important to people. Nordplus Conservation Network has since its start ca 1989 aimed at promoting the question of Conservation of Built Environment, Conservation of Cultural Objects and as an added part the last five years also the Conservation of Landscape. The concern about climate issues and sustainable development is always a topic in conservation. As an example the climate in medieval churches gets more and more humid affecting both the buildings and the interior decorations in the buildings. The increasing humidity in our Northern part of the world is a big challenge in the care and conservation of our built environment and our common space. To increase knowledge in this field is one the most important parts of the project as well as developing methods for facing this challenges in practical conservation issues. Conservation of Built Environment, of cultural objects and of Landscape and work for a Sustainable development is of high importance in the modern society giving increased value to the social and cultural life of people living in the Northern countries. It involves as examples city planning, conservation of medieval wooden sculpture and care and conservation of landscape. The last c 35 years industrial and social development has implicated big changes in our urban milieu indoors and 97 outdoors and in landscape making the cultural values very important to people. The higher education in conservation (kulturvård) in Denmark, Finland and Sweden all has started in the last 35 years. The vulnerability of the subject field, because of its specialization, makes it very important to cooperate within the Nordic countries and in our international setting. The Nordic educational conservation programs cooperate internationally within EnCore. Students take part in the conservation field in other countries when doing their internships.
