Fortidsminneforeningen, the Society for the Preservation of Norwegian Ancient

Monuments, in cooperation with Europa Nostra invites young craftsmen from across

Europe to come together to participate in an intensive, 7-day workshop focusing on the

traditional crafts and building techniques of Norway. The programme has been specially

designed to coincide with the Europa Nostra Annual Congress in Oslo (10-14 June 2015)

and will allow young European crafters to take part in hands-on training sessions in

conservation and restoration, township development and environmental protection with a

special focus on learning about traditional Norwegian wooden craftsmanship and masonry.

The programme will also include visits to museums and special excursions.

A contribution to the travel expenses (max. 200 EUR per person), all expenses related to

accommodation in Oslo, breakfasts and lunches during the period of the workshop and

expenses for necessary transportation in Oslo will be covered by the Society for the

Preservation of Norwegian Ancient Monuments, subject to confirmation of the financial

support from Norwegian public bodies concerned.

As part of the programme of the workshop, participants will also be invited to attend some

public events organised in the framework of the Europa Nostra Annual Congress in Oslo,

including the European Heritage Awards Ceremony which will be held in the evening of 11

June at the emblematic Oslo City Hall.
