Less than a week ago we hosted a group of young people with teachers from Norway in our city. Their visit was a part of the bilateral cooperation of Krosno and Øygarden Municipality in Norway.

Five students from Norwegian high schools and three teachers were paying a visit to Krosno in the period from February 18th to February 22nd 2024. Their visit presented a great opportunity to exchange experience and good practices in the scope of youth civic participation, improving standards of communication between local government and young communities, methods of activating youth and involving them in decision-making processes.
