Bridging the gaps in teacher education and schools through interdisciplinary work (BRIDGES)
Project period: 2020-2024

Interdisciplinary work is decisive to succeed with education rapidly developing and society bringing a future with uncertainties. Collaborating across different disciplines are needed to face the societal challenges we are up against. To be successful, we need to bridge the gaps between academic disciplines and school subjects – within teacher education and in school. The overall aim of BRIDGES is to produce new research-based knowledge and practice for teacher education.
From August 2020 a new National Curriculum was implemented in Norway, changing the school with, among several things, three cross-cutting themes expected to address current and future societal challenges:
- public health and life skills
- democracy and citizenship
- sustainable development
Through systematic work with quality in education and partnership, BRIDGES will test, evaluate, and document teaching about, for, and through these three themes in search for examples of best practices. The project will also produce and share learning material. The results of this project will improve teacher education’s capability to adapt to the needs of schools. Additionally, it will strengthen teacher education and teacher educators as resources for schools, local society, and policymakers. Schools have started bridging the gaps between and across school subjects in their preparations for implementing the new curriculum. This is, therefore, a favorable time for this project as we can test new ways of collaboration and bridging gaps in the education system.
BRIDGES is based on three well-established teacher education institutions working in different ways with developing, strengthening and systematizing interdisciplinary work within their teacher education programs. This provides unique opportunities for rich comparative research.

Sustainability Education in All-Day Schools (SustainAll)
Project period: 2020-2023
The aim of our project is to support All-day schools in developing a curriculum as well as day-to-day practices, which foster sustainability education and make an impact toward climate stability.The project endorses the whole-school approach, integrating ESD / transformative education in a holistic manner. Accordingly, teaching and learning for sustainability is extended to aspects such as community involvement and integrated governance. The whole-school approach further advocates for active, participatory learning. Collaborating institutions in the project are: University of Klagefurt, Austria, Ludwigsburg University of Education, Germany, University do Porto, Portugal and CCL at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway.
The project has both developed an Imoox course and also short spark videos with examples of how schools are dealing with different aspects of ESD in their schools. To access the videos and find more information about the Imoox course, please click here.

RESPOND - Sustaining the professional development of teachers within schools as professional learning environments.
Project period: 2021-2024
RESPOND aims to
- investigate and identify what kinds of professional learning experiences provide input that can trigger change;
