Content:

Outdoor Life, Culture and Ecophilosophy is taught in the autumn semester.

The study programme will provide students with practical skills, knowledge, attitudes and experiences related to outdoor activities, culture and nature. Students will acquire skills in outdoor life in a variety of natural environments, and theoretical knowledge about outdoor life as a cultural and historical phenomenon.

The programme provides students with insight into Norwegian culture and the foundation to reflect upon outdoor life and the different views of nature in Norway; students will also be given the opportunity to compare this to their own countries. Outdoor teaching will be given in the form or tours and solo outings.

The programme will be taught in English and is aimed at foreign students. Norwegian students should take the programme Outdoor Life, Culture & Nature Guiding I instead.
