During the fall of 2019 we were pleased to become acquainted with four more students from Ghana.
The course was this year coordinated by Heidi M. Breivik and Heidrun Stebergløkken. In addition to the general lectures (text courses, theory and academic writing), the students got to experience some more excursions with the Norwegian students. This included an excursion to an excavation held by NIKU at Klostergate and a trip to Oppdal with the Norwegian first year students. Lectures/seminars was given on topics relating to the students’ research themes, like iron working in a Scandinavian perspective, inventory and storage of archaeological sites, functions of rock shelters in Norway and historical archaeology in Scandinavia.
The Ghanaian students shared their experiences about their stay with us during Norpart day. The Norwegian students Une Jensen Aas and Julia Haraldsdatter also shared their experiences from their visit to Ghana in January the same year. This collaboration shows we learn a lot from each other, and we want to get even better finding activities to connect the Ghanaian students with the Norwegian students during their stay with us.
