Project Submissions: Sway presentations

Group projects will be submitted here.

The Sway will be submitted by one student (from Høyanger VGS to Dan L. via Teams chat) at the conclusion of the meeting. It is important that all members of the team each offer and contribute to the final product. Try to use one platform where all can create each their own respective material and the final product can be copied and pasted to the Sway for submission. Only a few sentences are necessary to convey the point of each topic, so keep your answers short. It is recommended that the 9 topics are delegated to each student so that all contribute.

Students should include:

1. Title page

Group topic

2. Why this issue matters in Europe

Context.

3. Explanation of the problem

Energy / mining / circular economy.

4. Case study

Example from one country.

5. Environmental impact

Nature, climate, biodiversity.

6. Economic impact

Jobs, industry, energy prices.

7. Different perspectives

Conflicts and debates.

8. Possible solutions

Technology, policy, innovation.

9. Conclusion

Answer: How can Europe balance economic development and environmental protection?

(all members of the group should contribute here)

Welcome to Erasmus+ Høyanger Meeting 2026!

Natural Resources and the Green Transition Energy, minerals and sustainable development in a European perspective Welcome to Høyanger! A central aim of the Erasmus+ collaboration is to explore shared challenges and opportunities in Europe. During this visit, students will examine how natural resources are used and managed in the transition towards a more sustainable society. The programme focuses on three key themes: energy production, mineral resources and circular economy. Through visits, presentations and case work, students will explore both the opportunities and the dilemmas connected to resource use, industrial development and environmental sustainability. The final day will bring these themes together through discussions and case work, encouraging students to reflect on how societies can balance economic development, environmental protection and future needs. We are delighted to welcome you to Høyanger, Norway, for this inspiring Erasmus+ international meeting, taking place...
