Since the year 2000, our municipality, sogn og fjordane, have had a cooperation with Mbala in Zambia. In 2006, Mbala Basic school and Eid ungdomsskule started to school cooperate . The cooperation was ended the summer 2013, after 13 years.

During the cooperation
  • They discussed conflictmanagement, democracy and how they could solve different problems and what each and one of them could do better.
  • Teachers from Eid ungdomsskule visited Mbala Basic School, and teachers from Mbala Basic School visited Eid ungdomsskule.
  • The travelling was really expensive, but luckily NORAD paid a lot for the cooperation and the travelling.
  • Travelling to Mbala took over 24 hours with night planes and bumpy bus rides, that weren't to pleasant.
  • Among others to visit Eid ungdomsskule, there was a chemistry teacher who nearly had nothing to teach his pupils with. When he saw our chemistry room and equipment he was shocked and didn't say to much, ha ha.
