Introduction	Experience of Art, Architecture and Cultural Heritage is a course (10 credits) at the University of Nordland. This course is a focused and balanced introduction to Cultural Heritage, Art and Architecture, particularly as it relates to international academic discourse and using examples from the county Nordland. A variety of texts will be examined critically in addition to the experience-based component, yielding insight about the nature of art, architecture and cultural heritage. Students participate in experienced-based learning activities such as excursions and fieldtrips in Bodø and the Helgeland archipelago and coastal district. The aim is to get acquainted with the art, architecture and cultural heritage in the county of Nordland through the student’s own active participation and subject development. Each student develops a reflection journal, documenting their experiences and reflections connected to the field trips, excursions and curriculum. And, each student reflects on the adventure experiences based on his/her own cultural and academic viewpoint through a final essay discussing this experience in relation to their own cultural background.
