This website is primarily aimed at covering the curriculum for English in Norway and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in TOK in the IB, and at pupils aged 13+.  It is in the process of expanding to include teaching materials for younger pupils and materials about the Sami in Norwegian.

The site consists  of teaching resources and activities. The main aims are to use sources produced by Indigenous peoples themselves and to encourage pupils to engage and reflect over the materials.

New:
