Social Erasmus at UiA
Through different activities under SocialErasmus+ scheme, international students are provided with different opportunities to explore and understand the communities in Kristiansand and Grimstad better. We believe that your mobility programs will be much more fulfilled and meaningful with these precious and practical experiences in the local
community. SocialErasmus+ activities, therefore, will not just give you the platform for fostering cultural understanding through experience exchange but also build a bridge for international cooperation and students’ engagement as global citizens.

Volunteering Activities
Norway is famous for its spectacular nature, but not everyone knows about the rich and long-rooted culture of doing volunteering in the country. Many mobility students may visualize themselves exploring corners of mountains and beaches in Norway, while others would also like to know how much Norwegian people love their cottages/cabins or how big outdoor activities play a role in Norwegian culture. Engaging in a variety of volunteering in the local community is a perfect way to enrich your cultural understanding through mobility programs, and most importantly, as an insider.
