Erasmus + Strategic partnership
The EU Erasmus+ Strategic partnership programme is facilitated by DIKU, the national office in Norway.
The transnational projects are designed to develop and share innovative practices and promote cooperation, peer learning, and exchanges of experiences in all fields and level of education.
This is an overview of the three Erasmus+ projects’ events for 2021-2023.
Erasmus+ 2021 European Innovative Teaching Award
Metis has won the “2021 European Innovative Teaching Award ” for the Moltam-project (2017-2020). The public disclosure of the laureates was 16 September 2021 during a launch event hosted by the European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. The awarded projects will be presented at a European award ceremony 20 October 2021 and at an accompanying networking and community-building event the day after, on 21 October 2021. We have made a video to be used at the events in Brussels and to be used in Norway as inspiration for other Erasmus+ projects.

“Environmental Learning Through Mobile Devices” (ELMO) will be led by Metis. We have partners from schools in Greece, Italy and Spain. The education platform ItsLearning will join us as an associated partner. This project is based on teacher collaboration, where we will use our students as case studies.
Learn more about the project here.
Joint conference Elmo & Citizens Inquiry in Bergen 24/4-28/4 2023
Metis hosted the final Learning, Teaching and Training (LTT) event for the two Erasmus+ projects Elmo and Citizens Inquiry at Media City in Bergen. As part of the LTT, we arranged a dissemination workshop and the entire teaching staff at Metis attended. The workshop explored the history of the two projects and some practical examples of Case Studies (student activities) the partners have worked on. The presentation aligned with three EU horizontal goals:
1) Environmental and climate goals
2) Innovative practices in a digital era
3) Common values, civic engagement and participation
The workshop started with Dr Kevin Burden´s lecture on mobile learning and the iPac-model, before the partner institutions presented their multimodal Case Studies about environmental issues and suitable digital applications.
The following Prezi presentation is a summary of the Metis partners´ case studies. Find it here.
The purpose of the workshop was to encourage participants to apply the principles of Elmo and Citizens Inquiry to an area within their own teaching/education practice.
Curipod student debate:
As part of the Elmo project Metis organized an online transnational student debate on environmental issues, using the application Curipod, in which the students shared their thoughts about local environmental problems in their respective countries.
See the Curipod debate HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsRFNgVvNmw
Please see more information about the two Erasmus+ projects here:
Teacher Mobility Elmo: Learning, Teaching and Training event in Imperia, Italy 3-7 October 2022
Participants from Metis: Bård Inge, Andreas, Ann Kristin and Anbjørg
Day 1
We were welcomed by the principal of our host school in Imperia, Liceo Statale G.P. Vieusseux.
Thereafter a workshop on mobile learning:
Dr Kevin Burden, University of Hull, who is an expert on mobile learning, explained how mobile learning came about. When the iPhone and the iPad was introduced, it allowed you to do most things you do on a computer, and yet you could move about without being restricted to time and space (for example the classroom).
We use the iPac-framework to evaluate three important aspects with usin mobile devices for learning:
- Personalisation: customisation and agency
- Authenticity: context and task
- Collaboration: conversation and cocreation: focus on dialogical process
Finaly that day a guided tour in the historic part of Imperia, by Davide, our host and the school´s coordinator for international projects and partner in the Elmo-project.
Day 2
Case Study 3 and iPac assessment
- Anbjørg presented her Case Study 3 Description, student activity Plastic Ocean, ebook (using Book Creator). Kevin made use of it to demonstrate iPac-assessment and the iPac teacher task survey.
- Bård Inge demonstrated Curipod. A good example of an interactive activity – the idea is to use it for the online student debate/discussion on sustainability later on.
- Kevin Burden lectured about innovative mobile learning activities.
Day 3
Two well prepared students from the Italian school lectured us about how to structure a debate and judging a debate. Davide has shared their presentation in the ItsLearning folder. This excellent debate method will be useful for the partners when they plan debate activities with their students.
Thereafter, we shared our Case Study 3 presentation videos. Here you can see Metis‘ contribution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-in0ET1dZ8E
Day 4
Excursion to Genoa:
Guided tour of Genoa, by Davide, our Italian hosts Davide and Emanuela
Teacher Mobility: Joint transnational meeting Elmo and Citizens Inquiry in Valencia, Spain 04.04-09.04 2022
Erasmus+ combined two projects Elmo and Citizens Inquiry in a joint transnational meeting in Valencia, Spain 4-9 April 2022.
The Citizens Inquiry project is led by the University of Hull (England) and have partners from Germany, Spain and Metis from Norway, whereas the Elmo project is led by Metis and have partners from Greece, Italy and Spain. Metis along with the partner school from Valencia participate in both projects.
The two projects include different elements but share a common topic Climate and Sustainability. Both projects have focus on student activities, using mobile learning tools and various applications.
The purpose of the joint event in Valencia was to share the Case Studies (student activities) we have worked on with our respective students and discuss the theoretical framework for our Case studies, the so called iPac-model developed by Dr Kevin Burden (the University of Hull).
Read more here: http://www.mobilelearningtoolkit.com/ipac-framework.html
The Metis team shared the activity their students from the English and Spanish elective courses have worked on, a tourist trail in Bergen with focus on sustainability, using the application Actionbound. See more about Actionbound here: https://en.actionbound.com
The Metis-presentation of Actionbound, inspired the Spanish team to arrange a historic tour for us round Valencia, using Actionbound.
Teacher Mobility: Transnational meeting Bremerhaven, Germany 22-23 September 2022
Participants from Metis: William, Andreas and Anbjørg
Day 1
Welcome to Johann-Gutenberg-Schule by Heiko, who is the international coordinator at the school and participant of the Citizens Inquiry-project.
Presentation student work: How vital is the German “Moor” for the environment?
Planning ahead:
Student mobility in Valencia (25-27 October 2022)
Student mobility in Bremerhaven (6-9 February 2023)
Multiplier event in Bremerhaven (10. February)
Learing, Teaching and Training (LTT) event in Bergen (24-26 April 2023)
Day 2
Walk in the city/guided by students
Visit of exhibition/guided tour of the Klimahaus, where we learned about climate and environmental problems worldwide.
Student Mobility: Valencia, Spain 23/10-28/10 2022 (CI)
Host school: Colegio Santa Maria Marianistas
Participants from Metis: four students from Salg, service og reiseliv (Business), Stephanie, Aurora, Erik, Elias, Karoline together with two teachers Andreas Fosso Dale & Nina Kristiansen.
The Metis students worked on the following topic: Mobile learning through visualizing projects and navigating in JigSpace.
In Valencia the students from Hull, Bremerhaven, Valencia and Bergen presented their project. The Metis students talked about the beach clean-up they had attended as a school project in Bergen and showed the beach location and findings using JigSpace. Not as interactive as intended, as the other participants did not have access to mobile phones or tablets, which would have enabled them to view the 3D images on their own device, and thus participate.
Besides the presentations, the students took part in Kahoot activities and discussions about climate issues in new mixed-nationality groups.
There was also time for cultural activities:
1. Guided tour in the old town of Valencia using the app Actionbound. The students and teachers walked together with participants from Valencia serving as guides.
2. Walk along Alboraya coastal pathway to beach (Port Saplaya) for some dodgeball and other ballgames as well as wading in the water.
To sum up, it was an enjoyable and educational experience. Nice to meet students from other nations. World climate issues have become more “visible” through the people and friendships we now have; we have made new international connections and the teens have made groups on social media.
Student Mobility: Athens, Greece 27/11–2/12 2022 (C6)
Host school: 4ο EPAL ATHINA
Participants from Metis: four students from Salg, service og reiseliv (Business), Stephanie, Helene, Maximilian, Jonathan and two teachers: Cathrine Olsen, Katrine Ness
Collaboration topic: Promoting citizenship educatiOn at school to build Inclusive Societies.
Each partner school, worked on different sup-topics and prepared a presentation to be shared in Athens.
The Business students from Metis worked the following subtopic:
“Young people have been turning away from established forms of democratic participation. Why is this happening?”
After working on the topic in class, the students prepared the presentation to be shared in Athens: an interactive task where they used the application Curipod and included history, statistics etc.
The weather in Athens was bad, it was raining worse than in Bergen – and we Norwegians got all the blame for the bad weather since it never rains in Athens.
Despite the bad weather, there was time for cultural activities:
1. Everyone went by bus to visit the SOUNIO Archaeological Site https://www.visitgreece.gr/experiences/culture/archaeological-sites-and-monuments/the-archaeological-site-of-sounio/
2. Guided Tour To ACROPOLIS and ANCIENT AGORA – it was wonderful! And finally the sun was shining!
3. Lunch in the historic area Monastiraki Plaka and the Greek students took the students to the popular flee marked in Monastiraki.
4. Dinner at “MONOPATI” with live music program. Good food, lovely company, dancing and a lot of fun for everyone.
5. As a souvenir to bring home, the host school arranged an Art workshop where everyone got portraited by art-students.
It was a great trip, well organized by the Greek host school. The Metis students loved it as well as their teachers. Athens is a wonderful city; spectacular history and lots of things to see and do. New friendships were made and hopefully this transnational experience will inspire to further work across countries.
POLIS “Promoting Citizenship and building Inclusive Societies”
Student Mobility: Viterbo, Italy 28.03-31.03.23 (C7) (P.O.L.I.S)
Host school: Santa Rosa da Viterbo, Italy.
Cooperation schools from Greece, Italy, Malta, Lithuania, Turkey and Norway.
Students from Metis were Nora Herland, Amanda Bjærum, Agate Ødven and and Emeli Eikeseth. In addition, their mentors Sara Berge Økland and Sten Are Edvardsen participated.
Collaboration theme: How to create inclusive communities in schools?
We spent five days in the Italian city of Viterbo. Viterbo is about 10 miles north of Rome. For several periods, Viterbo was the residence of the Pope, including when threats such as plague and conflict have ravaged the country. Viterbo is one of the very few Italian cities still
surrounded by city walls. Today, Viterbo is a tranquil, safe and perhaps romantic place where tourism does not allow itself to dominate.
On the first day of activities, we were warmly welcomed by the host school. The students learned Italian songs which they performed for each other. This was extra nice as we visited a music school. All of the students at the music course in Italy could play at least two instruments. We then had lunch together at a local restaurant and were given a guided tour of Viterbo.
The next day we went on a day trip to Rome. We went via St. Peter’s Basilica and visited the Vatican City. On this day, the Pope was outdoors to meet crowds and bless newlyweds. We then went on in the direction of the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. The tour ended in the area at the ancient excavations. The students then had free time and the Metis students visited the Colosseum and had lunch. We then went shopping and ended our Rome tour at the Spanish Steps, before traveling by train back to Viterbo.
During the trip, we also visited Villa Lante in Bagnaia. This is a lovely garden from the 16th century built for, among other things, recreation and hunting. In recent times, Villa Lante is often used as film set, e.g. the Netflix series The Young Pope.
For each student mobility in this P.O.L.I.S. project, the students have come up with three rules or main points that call for action for a better Europe. On the last day, our students voted on which rules were the best.
The students from Metis spent a lot of time together with the students from the other countries and we all left with a positive impression, new acquaintances and memories that will last.
Student mobility Bremerhaven, Germany 07.02-09.02 2023
Host school: JOHANN-GUTENBERG-SCHULE

Malta started with their presentation about “Cyber bullying”, before Lithuania talked about “Cyber security”. The day ended with a party at the host school. A big group of musicians played traditional folk music Tarskutis, and all the student and teachers were invited to the dance floor. Thereafter dinner time, the parents of the Lithuanian students had prepared all sorts of Lithuanian dishes.
Day 2, the Metis students got to present their topic “Critical thinking”. After the presentation they invited the other students to participate in a workshop connected to their topic. Italy was
the last country to present their topic “How to recognize and defend oneself against fake news online”. The day ended with a visit to a museum about ethnography, the Alytus Municipality, the Statue of Freedom and had a nice walk to the White Rose Bridge.
Day 3, Excursion to Vilnius, an hour drive from Akytus. On the way they stopped by the historic Trakai castle and in Vilnius they got to see the whole city in panorama view from Gediminas´ Tower, before visiting the Money Museum. The students then participated in a photo-safari.
Day 4, Lecture by security expert Tomas Ceponis. He talked about all the different threats we face every day from visible and invisible enemies, before he mixed the groups of students and let them try to analyze the use of social media in relations to the project´s main topic.
Both students and teachers had a wonderful time in Alytus, Lithuania. They were very impressed by the program and activities that were organized by the Lithuanian host school. They learned a lot about Lithuanian history and traditions. The Metis students loved that the other countries stayed at the same hotel as them; they could get to know each other even better and socialize more.
Everybody was very happy with their stay in Alytus, Lithuania.
Student mobility to Malta 16/10-22/10 2022 (C2)

Each partner school, worked on different sup-topics and prepared a presentation to be shared in Malta.
The students from Metis worked on the following topic: Comment on stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination
Even if Norway is among the countries that protect human rights the most, the UN believes that human rights violations are being committed in Norway as well in various areas. The Metis students worked on the topic «Identity and Human Rights» and made a digital poster/ e-book to be shared in Malta.
The host school arranged several culture activities for the partner schools:
1. Guided tour in Medina
2. A hiking day to Gnejna Bay and lunch at the beach
3. Guided tour in the capital Valletta and a visit to YMCA, an organization that helps young homeless people in Malta.
4. Morning trip to the Blue Grotto
The host school also arranged a lecture from The Human Rights Directorate in Malta.
It was a well-organized and educational week. We got to see a lot of Malta. The students worked well together and learned from each other and the visit from The Human Rights Directorate was particularly good.
C2 – Inclusion and diversity, human rights
As one of the Metis-partners in the Polis-project, we have worked on Human Rights. Norway has a strong human rights record. Still there are Norwegian citizens who feel that their needs are not sufficiently met. Our 1sta-students (2020-2021) have researched these people´s experience and created ebooks about the findings. An example of such an ebook can be viewed here.
Student mobility to Istanbul, Turkey 2/10-7/10 2022 (C5)

2017-2020
¨Mobile Learning Technology and Assessment Methods¨ (MOLTAM)
The Moltam-project is led by Metis and includes the following partners:
Metis videregående Bergen. Amanda Naylor (partner), Monica Amundsen (partner), Anbjørg Igland (coordinator) og Johs Totland (finance)
- Wildermuth-Gymnasium, Tübingen
- Colegio Santa Maria Marianistas, Valencia
This project builds on a previous Erasmus + project, the MTTEP-project, in which Metis was one of many partners from schools and universities in England, Norway, Australia, the Netherlands and Germany.
What is the project about?
The main idé of this new project is usage of mobile learning technology with focus on assessment methods – thereby the name MOLTAM (Mobile Learning Technology and Assessment Methods).
The continuing development of new technology in education creates a need for teacher to be updated on how to make use of it. For example, learn how to use different applications and mobile devices, such as mobile phones, iPads, etc. These devices also allow teaching and learning to take place anywhere outside the classroom – thereby the name Mobile Learning.
This project aims to strengthen digital competence among students and teachers and give teachers professional autonomy when it comes to mobile learning technology and assessment methods. Both teachers and students will make use of I-pads and different apps to create e-books and different kinds of formative assessment methods. So far the students from the elective courses English, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology take part in the project. The project lasts for three years and the idea is to make internationalisation an integral part of the school´s institutional strategy. We will organize transnational collaborative activities between the partner schools and arrange workshops for in-service teachers. Metis will arrange one workshop in spring 2019 and one in spring 2020, in which we aim to involve the entire teaching staff. The Erasmus+ project will strengthen the digital competence at Metis and further, strengthen the school´s strategic internationalization approach.
Moltam Digital partner meeting Bergen 19th June 2020
Due to the Coronavirus, the planned final LTT (Learning Teaching Training) in Bergen April 2020 was cancelled. As an alternative for the partners in the project we organized a digital LTT using Teams as the communication platform. We created a Padlet-presentation where we posted the mobile learning case studies (student activities linked to the iPac model, the fundamental framework for the project) we have worked on since the Transnational Meeting in Valencia November 2019.
Our international partners were not able to come to Bergen as planned and we missed out of the four days with different activities we had planned, such as the in-service training workshop for the staff at Metis. However, as an alternative, the digital one-day session 20/6 worked out fine as the final summit of the three-year long Moltam project.
