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 from March 16th to March 20th. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sognefjord, Høyanger is a small yet historically significant town with deep roots in Norway’s industrial and energy history. Once a hub for hydropower and aluminum production, Høyanger stands as a testament to both the opportunities and challenges that come with energy development—making it the perfect setting for our project.

This meeting brings together students from Norway, the Basque Country, Denmark, Italy, and Germany to collaborate under the theme: "Europe’s Resource Dilemma: Energy, Minerals and the Green Transition" Over the next few days, we will explore Change and Conflict related to energy, discussing the impact of energy production and consumption on our societies and the environment. Through dialogue, teamwork, and creative solutions, we will work together to understand how we, as young people, can shape a sustainable future.

We look forward to engaging discussions, cultural exchanges, and meaningful learning experiences. Let’s make this a memorable and impactful gathering!
