Project Based Learning week, or as we call it, PBL is an integral part of our CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) program, which serves as the core of the Diploma Programme. CAS aims to enhance students’ personal and interpersonal growth and is structured around three key elements: creativity, activity, and service.
During PBL week, both students and staff propose and complete projects that align with the College’s core principles, emphasizing the Nordic, Humanitarian, or Environmental aspects. Throughout this week, students acquire essential skills, foster valuable attitudes, and develop strong dispositions through a variety of individual and collaborative experiences. These experiences provide them with opportunities to explore their interests and express their passions, personalities, and unique perspectives.
Active involvement in planning and executing these projects is encouraged, allowing students to engage actively in reflection and work towards achieving some of the seven objectives set forth by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
This year we dedicated a microsite for the PBL week, where supervisors of the projects could share their experiences:
