The Nordic Education Model: Conclusive events

As a part of the comparative research project NordEd, where the purpose was to examine the Nordic Education Model, a final conference will be held on 14 and 15 of September 2023.

The project examined four different features: knowledge, curricula and subject lines, teacher cultures and teacher training, and policy-making and reform work.

The research group represents large professional diversity within various disciplines. The project has sought to provide broad and critical perspectives on the emergence, sustainability of some common values, and design of the national education systems. The research group has emphasized both current and historical aspects of the Nordic Education Model.

The conclusive events are open to everyone. The programme is listed below. The programme parts that are described in English, will be held in English. The others will be held in Norwegian.
