Welcome to the opening of NU26: Borders and Boundaries
17:00 - 19:00
Borders & Boundaries is a photo exhibition for vocational education students in the Nordic countries. The NU exhibitions have been held yearly since 2017 by Yrkesinstitutet Prakticum in Helsinki (www.prakticum.fi).
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition on tuesday 6th March at 5pm – 7pm.
The aim of the project is to network and develop media & art education in the Nordic countries and give students and schools a platform to meet and get visibility and to promote themselves. Starting in 2016 we have had the pleasure of collaborating with around two hundred students from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland.
Each year we strive to find new methods to collaborate and share educational experiences between the schools among the teachers that are involved with the project. This year’s theme is Borders & Boundaries.
