THE PROGRAM

Since the days of the Vikings Scandinavia has developed into modern Western European nations of high living standards, universal healthcare, and social security benefits while sporting a vibrant social and arts scene. Noted for Scandinavian design and alternative energies, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are an integral part of the European Union.

Along with first-hand experiences of contemporary life in the three Scandinavian nations, we will search for remnants of ancient Norse cultures in museums and sights in order to make connections between the present and the past. Course requirements include preparatory meetings during spring 2010, a travel journal, and a research paper examining the confluence of Scandinavian art and cultures.
