30 June 2023 at 09:12 The Oslo school invites to a dialogue meeting after the handshake case The Norwegian Education Agency in Oslo invites to a dialogue meeting about the school’s work with diversity and inclusion after the situation surrounding handshakes during a diploma ceremony. The meeting will be held in September. – In the Oslo school, we have a diverse group of students, and we must be good at creating inclusive communities in our schools. In that work, dilemmas arise that we want to discuss with central organizations and voices in the field, says Marianne Mette Stenberg, divisional director of the Oslo School in a press release. Stenberg is responsible for competence development, student rights and PPT in the Swedish Education Agency. She also says that Oslo School will talk about its work at the meeting, and what dilemmas and problems we experience in that work. – In our 180 schools, thorough and good work is done with inclusion. Our employees have a great awareness of this, and a lot of competence and experience in working with a diverse group of students, and in creating community. The recent debate with polarized views shows that this is not easy. We therefore hope that the invited actors will contribute to making us even better, says Stenberg.
