Mayor Olve Grotle and his team from Førde Municipality came for a visit to learn more about the institutions based at Haugland (UWC RCN and RKHR) – both in terms of internationalism and with regard to the human resources available in Sunnfjord.

With the current process about a possible relocation of the Head Office for the Norwegian Peace Corps to this region, they were interested in exploring possible connection points between organisations and promoting internationalism in the region.

Mayor Grotle said that he was really taken by what a vibrant and dynamic international place and resource UWC is.

Den Kulturelle Skulesekken

2017-02-02T06:11:30+01:00February 2nd, 2017|

Thanks to Den kulturelle skulesekken, our first year students had the opportunity to connect with local students in Dale and to experience great music. The College brought more than a hundred students to listen to Thea Hjelmeland who surprised all present with her original sound and creative lyrics. The singer herself complimented the audience for their positive and welcoming attitude and several students chose to dance to the inviting rhythms. We are very grateful for all the opportunities we get to connect with Norwegian students and performers thanks to Den kulturelle skulesekken.
