Norwegian Matters
Everything you wanted to know (and be known) about Norway and Norwegian affairs
- here are some links that will give you (sometimes educational) information on Norway and Norwegian affairs (but also some in Norwegian). NB! A lot of teachers ask me about work in Norway (how to get a teacher's job, where to apply etc.) It is impossible for me to answer you all. My best bet is to go to the newsgroup no.skole.diverse. This is the place where everybody in the Norwegian educational system will meet to exchange views and concerns. You can, of course, write in English. The bulletin board for Norwegian experiences should also prove useful
- Working in Norway
- U.S. Embassy: for educators in Norway
Norway Post The weekly paper (in English) to keep you on top of Norwegian affairs: News, Business, Oil & gas, Culture, Travel, Counties etc. etc.
