25 Sep 2025 Working visit to a partner school in Norway (Odda vidaregåande skule)

Mutual visits of the project implementers were planned within the project. On 25th September a visit of the project team members to the Norwegian school - Odda vidaregåande skule was planned.

The director Mgr. Jaroslav Koreš, Ph.D. - as a representative of WP1. During the visit he visited both the school itself and the nearby museum - the Tyssedal hydroelectric power station.

During the visit, he also met with the school management, saw the school's facilities and was introduced to the range of study fields on offer. Odd School is more of a catchment school and struggles with fewer applicants. The school has about 200 students and offers a wide range of courses - mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, general education, nursing and carpentry. Odda sees the cooperation with our school as an opportunity to offer students a new field of education, inspired by our electromobility field.

A large part of the visit was devoted to the project itself, discussing specific ideas for the fulfilment of the objectives, the possibilities of involving pupils from both schools, the linking of eTwinning projects and exhibits for the planned energy exhibition.

It was interesting to compare the approach to pupils with special educational needs - in the Norwegian school there is an 8-member counselling department that is dedicated to pupils with special needs. The aim is not to lead pupils to a successful graduation, but to prepare them for life in society. Education is not a goal for the Norwegian school and this does not create pressure among pupils who may perceive the simplification of studies for pupils with special needs as unfair.

During the tour of the partner school, the headmaster was able to compare the facilities of both schools and in his opinion each school has something to offer. The equipment of our school is both more modern and more varied, for example, work with CNC machines is rather marginal at the Norwegian school. On the other hand, the facilities for pupils and teachers in the Norwegian school are of a much better standard.

Both from the visit of the teachers from Norway to our school and from the visit to Odda, we have the gratifying knowledge that our school is an inspiring partner for the partners in Norway with advanced technical background, skilled pupils and successful previous outcomes. In the coming year, we plan to prepare the next continuation of this project with the involvement of another foreign school and would like to be a European leader in technology education and in electromobility in particular.

25. 9. 2025 Working visit of our partner school in Norway (Odda vidaregåande skule)

Mutual visits by project partners were also organized as part of the project. On September 25, members of the Czech project team visited the Norwegian school - Odda vidaregåande skule.

Our director, Mgr. Jaroslav Koreš, Ph.D., visited our partner school as a representative of WP1. As part of his visit, he toured the school areal, as well as a nearby museum - the Tyssedal hydroelectric power plant.

He met with the school management, viewed the school facilities, and was introduced to the range of study programs on offer. Being a catchment school, Odda School has a smaller number of applicants in its area. The school has approximately 200 students and offers a wide range of fields of study, including engineering, electrical engineering, general education, nursing, and carpentry. The cooperation with our school provides Odda with an opportunity to introduce a new field of study to its students, inspired by our field of electromobility.

A large part of the visit was devoted to planning of the project itself, with discussions focusing on specific ideas for achieving the objectives, opportunities for involving pupils from both schools, links in the form of eTwinning projects, and exhibits for the planned energy exhibition.

An interesting aspect of the Norwegian educational system is their care for special needs students. Norwegian schools have an eight-member counselling team that provides support to pupils in need. In comparison to our system, the goal of Norwegian education is not to lead students to successfully complete their studies by fulfilling the curricular objectives, but to prepare them for life in society. By backgrounding academic performance in favour of better social inclusion, the simplification of studies for students with special needs is not perceived as unfair by their abled peers.

Our Headmaster was able to compare the equipment at both schools during the tour of the partner school. According to him, the strengths of each school lay in different areas: for example, our school's equipment is both more modern and more diverse, while working with CNC machines is rather marginal at the Norwegian school. On the other hand, the facilities for students and teachers at the Norwegian school are of a much higher standard.

Both from the visit of teachers from Norway to our school and from the visit to Odda, we have gained the encouraging understanding that our school is an inspiring partner for our partners in Norway, with advanced technical facilities, skilled students, and successful previous outputs.

In the coming year, we intend to elaborate on this project with the involvement of another foreign school. Our goal is to become a European leader in the field of education in technology and electromobility.

9 Sep 2025 Regular project meetings as a key management tool for the Education for the Future project - Electromobility, Future Transport, Sustainable Transport
