Summary of project results

Mobility project was focusing on mobility - 14 (+1) students of MU travelled to our institutional partner, University College in Southeast Norway in Bo. The journey was carried out in the planned period with very good feed backs from both Czech and Norwegian participant sides. Because of the fact that project realisation was following with summer holidays we have asked DZS for prolonging the project period to be able to implement the results and to promote the project for the MU audience according to the grant application. The project objectives were the realisation and implementation of the mobility in Telemark, cont with our Norwegian partner, the publication goals of our project for the audience at Mu and in Brno. All these goalsa were ireached. The common literary journey for the students and the individual Norway-experience in and outside academia were very important for the students in this branch. (Norwegian language and literature) The implementation in human resources was foregoing very intens in the preparation, realisation and evaluation phase. The longer term goals, represented in diploma thesis writing can be seen in later months. The master students shall deliver their diploma thesis in 2017, the bachelor students in 2018. The cooperation and Exchange between these two student groups has increased through this mobility project, too.
