Today, on 2nd March 2024, NURTURE planned a social activity for its exchange students to freshen them up after a cold winter and have open and friendly chit-chats with them about their exchange journey and experience in Norway so far.
One of the objectives of the NURTURE global project is to prepare a high-quality foundation for capacity and competency improvement by providing staff and student exchange opportunities between its partner universities in Ethiopia and Norway. In line with this objective, two Ph.D. students from the University of Gondar and Addis Ababa Science and Technology University have come to Norway to spend an exchange semester at the University of South Eastern in Spring 2024. Adamu and Mulugeta’s research is in the field of e-Health and they are staying at the campus Drammen for the exchange.
NURTURE’s project leader, Professor Shegaw Anagaw Mengiste, gathered the group in Oslo, and after a short walk and sightseeing in the heart of Oslo, the group had an Ethiopian dinner with the taste of home. During the whole time, many interesting and warm discussions were going on from all around. The group shared their exchange experience and discussed their research topic and research status at the moment. Also, many points regarding social inclusion at an exchange, cultural similarities and differences at home and abroad, material availability at the workplace, and systematic research were discussed in a very open and friendly environment.
Below, you can see some of the photos of this social activity.
