About this project
<pre><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed"">The current project is planned to strengthen the cooperation between two higher education institutions and to improve the quality and innovation of teaching in the area of theological education. Norwegian School of Leadership and Theology (NSLT) is good partner for us for at least two reasons – they are culturally comparable and theologically similar. At the same time they have a lot to teach to us – how they have combined Baptist and Pentecostal Theology, what they teach in the area of Church and Society and how they have combined bachelor and Master study. They have long term experience in international cooperation, which is one more thing we would like to improve in our school and between two schools.</span> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed"">The main need addressed is to improve teaching quality. At the moment, it has too little international flavour and impact. This is due to the fact, that our faculty members, specially the younger ones, have not had enough international teaching-and-learning experiences.</span></span> <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed"">Thus, the main target group is teaching staff. We plan to exchange experiences, learn from each other to improve our teaching skills and thus, improve the professional development of our faculty. As a long-term result, we hope that this will result in long-term cooperation between two institutions and – in hopefully better teaching-learning quality in both institutions.</span></span></pre>
Bilateral cooperation results
Project benefited from the partnership with the Norwegian School of Leadership and Theology (NSLT) in following aspects: partner was culturally comparable and theologically similar. At the same time they have a lot to teach to us – how they have combined Baptist and Pentecostal Theology, what they teach in the area of Church and Society and how they have combined bachelor and Master study. They have long term experience in international cooperation, which is one more thing we would like to improve in our school and between two schools. Planned activities were all implemented – bilateral visits to both schools to teach plus another visit to NSLT to gather experience and learn about their school in more detail. We are currently looking for other projects or funds to continue the cooperation and to develop it further. Our hope is that there will be another round of the EEA/Norway Cooperation Program in Higher Education in the future
