Tour Norway, June 5 - 15, 2010
Please join Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies for an educational and cultural tour to Norway, June 5 – 15, 2010. This specially designed tour includes visits to Oslo, Kongsberg, Geilo, Bergen, and Stavanger. While in Oslo, we will be hosted by Diakonhjemmet University College, an Augsburg partner school that offers a master’s degree in value-based leadership. We will stay on or near campus. Faculty from Diakonhjemmet will lead three morning sessions that complement our travels.
The tour includes:
- Five days in Oslo—located on a fjord, surrounded by hills, and full of the excitement of a large, cosmopolitan city
- A journey westward by motor coach through Kongsberg, the historic Numedal Valley, and Hardangervidda (the mountain plateau home of large reindeer herds) to stay in a charming traditional hotel in Geilo
- A famously scenic train ride to the fjord village of Flåm and a cruise on the Aurlands and Naeroy Fjords
- Two nights in picturesque and historic Bergen on Norway’s west coast
- A journey south by motor coach and ferry to Stavanger, designated “European Capital of Culture” for 2008. Stavanger was the main departure point for Norwegian immigrants to America. After an overnight stay, we will depart for home from Stavanger.
Cost: $3799 (includes airfare, accommodations, in-country travel, entrance fees during group excursions, tour guides, workshops at Diakonhjemmet, and 15 meals).
MA in Leadership course credit as an independent study is available to Augsburg graduate students (tuition fees additional).
