Sunday - Arrival in Amersfoort.
After a long day of travel we arrived safely in Amersfoort. The students went with their host families, and the teachers arrived at the hotel.
Monday - Start of the project.
Well rested, most of us arrived on time at the Farel College for the start of the project. After some games and social activities the students started presenting the impressive results of their work on the pre tasks.
After the presentations were done, the students presented the logos they had designed for the project. The Norwegian contribution got the vote and we are proud to present the logo for the project.
After a quick lunch break we got on our bikes and braved the Dutch cycle roads and traffic. It all went well and we arrived at the Town Hall for a talk on how the Amersfoort Municipality worked to achieve the green shift.
After this it was time to visit some of the local companies to get some insight on possible ways to increase our sustainability. We experienced everything from so called plus houses - that is, houses that actually produces more energy than they consume, to a start up company that specializes in 3D printing with concrete. We also had a look at possible solutions for carpooling.
At the end of a long day we had the International Party with “Old Dutch Games” and delicious Nepalese food. Although euphoric with the day’s experiences, the students were visibly tired and eager to get som rest before the next day.
Tuesday - Visit to the Technical University of Delft
We will have a separate blog post for this day :)
Wednesday - Project work at Farel College
Early wednesday morning saw the students hard at work on their new task: To create a website which summerizes the information the groups have collected so far in the project.

Wednesday - Project work at Farel College
Early wednesday morning saw the students hard at work on their new task: To create a website which summerizes the information the groups have collected so far in the project.
The different groups decided to create a common website with information on different technologies and recomendations on how state, local government and households could implement the new technologies to acheive a more sustainable way of life.
In the evening the students did practical experiments with different sustainable energy technologies.
