This project activity involves cooperation and collaboration between four educational institutions of four Nordic countries, namely: the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway and Greenland.

This project proposal is pioneering, while potentially interdisciplinary in nature, combining areas of education and training which had not been contemplated as possible areas of curricular development until now. For instance, while education in oil and gas, safety and environment has enjoyed a certain prominence in Norwegian educational sector the same is not true for the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland.
