When all of Sarpsborg became a classroom for mental health!

An important part of the concept was that the tasks were about more than finding the right answer. The conversations between the young people as they moved from stop to stop mattered just as much.

The tasks gave students a natural way to talk about friendship, feelings, inclusion and mental health. At the same time, they became familiar with Fellesverket, the library, Ungdommens Kulturhus, Helsestasjon for ungdom and other meeting places in Sarpsborg.

Combining physical activity with reflection made the subjects feel less formal and easier to discuss. The whole city centre became a place for learning.

Research shows that young people often participate more actively when learning happens through experiences and collaboration rather than traditional instruction.

When students move, solve tasks together and talk along the way, it becomes easier to have meaningful conversations about topics that might otherwise feel difficult.

The digital solution also makes it easy to build activities that can be reused and adapted for new audiences and future campaigns.
