About the project - Sinonor

The Sinonor project is an exchange between China and Norway. Here they exchange experiences, ideas and, maybe most importantly, people. We are a part of the teacher exchange, where Ningxia University in Yinchuan gets English teachers from Norway, and the Red Cross Nordic United World College in Flekke gets Chinese teachers from NU. The exchange has existed for six years now, and it seems like we are in the final year. That's why we are just three participants this year, compared to around seven the other years (5 Norwegians and 2 Chinese). So we, Christian and Tom Christian, are the Norwegian participants. At the same time a really nice young lady called Li Dan stays at the RCNUWC.

Now there is a new project from RCNUWC called Sahanor. It will be the new focus for the next five years. It's an exchange project between RCNUWC and Polisario, who runs the West Saharawi refugee camps in Algeria. This year there will be six young norwegians who work for the refugee camps. You can read more about their lives in Algeria at http://sahanor.blogspot.com

If you have any questions about these projects, feel free to ask the writers in both blogs. We'll answer as soon as we can.
