The topic that I want to focus on is our international projects.
We have a group Spain, studying how Norwegians get health care in Spain, Costa del Sol, Albir, Alicante.
Child and youth care have for many years had aaid-program in Ukarin, at an old folks home and anorphanage. The classes have different arrangements to collect money for their helping project and they go there every year aid project.
Most of our international projects are in the Restaurant and food processing classes.
This is our first year on a Comenius project were “Stock fish” is the main topic. We are three upper secondary schools, one from Schleswig Holstein, North Germany (Beruflischeschule des Kreises,Ostholstinin Oldenburgh)
andNino Begese from Genova, Italia who meet and work together four times a year were we make different dishes with Stockfish as the most important ingredient.
You will hear more about this from Daniel Helle who has been one of the participant on all three meetings.
The name of the project is “Stockfish – traditional and modern. The outcomes are: in the end: a cooking book with all the recipes from the meetings. This is the overall goal, but we also have one “smaller outcome from each meeting.
The reason for choosing “Stockfish” as the main topic is that it has a long tradition in Norway and Italia, and also Germany has been involved as the Hanseatic cities, Bergen and Lübeck were on the rout transporting Stockfish, from Lofoten, to many countries in Europe.
