This is related to the place where Norways longest river Glomma meets the river Rena, which gives the name to our community Åmot with the centre Rena.

Learning…
As our pupil in 2003 said: ”It’s a bit boring to interview the Norwegian Prime Minister, after having done ”Give me 5” with United Nations General Secretary Kofi Annan.
On our trip to Poland we have learned a lot about Polish history, society and geography that helps broadening our horizon.

Goal
Our goal is to give this knowledge to the rest of our teachers and pupils, by giving them the possibilty to see for themselves and learn how countries and people living in different part of the world really is.
