You also become familiar with FORUT and their work in Sri Lanka, and we emphasize travel training, expectations, and reflection around traveling in a different cultural context.  <\/p><p>The goal is to be well prepared, both practically and mentally, so that you get the most out of the experiences. In addition to unique travel impressions, through the preparatory work we want to strengthen understanding of other societies and ways of life, develop cultural understanding, and provide space for personal reflection and growth. <\/p><\/div><p>Responsible for the program and teaching is our staff member Angela V\u00e5genes, who has traveled with students to Sri Lanka in previous years.<\/p><p>The travel program requires that you as a student are in reasonably good physical shape, are adaptable, and let yourself be fascinated by encountering the unknown in the form of new people, places, and challenges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeab1ba e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eeab1ba\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-313207f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"313207f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The elective course costs 32,000 NOK and includes:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a2d316 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a2d316\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Round-trip flight to Sri Lanka<\/li><li>Transportation to\/from Flesland<\/li><li>Local transport<\/li><li>Accommodation and breakfast<\/li><li>Tour leaders and local guide<\/li><li>Preparation and instruction<\/li><\/ul><p>In addition there are expenses for vaccines, visa, some meals, and spending money.
