My Fulbright Experience: Visiting Norway, by Elba Garcia
“One of the awesome projects I had the pleasure to be a part of with my host university (ISG) was to collaborate in an Erasmus+ Mobility Project called “Make it Greener”, which aims to promote environmentally sustainable efforts and changes. This project consists of a collaboration between four countries: Norway, Slovakia, Turkey, and Portugal. This past December, I was able to join the cohort in Trondheim, Norway with teachers and students from INETE and my faculty mentor from ISG. In this mobility, I met and interacted with various students and educators from a diverse background. We participated in activities that enabled us to share our stories, explore the city, and embrace efforts that can make daily tasks become more environmentally sustainable. As an ETA, I carried 1-to-1 conversations with the students and teachers about my experiences as a student in the U.S. and learned more about Norwegian culture. I am very grateful for this opportunity and I look forward to continue working on this project.”
