The students’ field visits included the Nobel Peace Centre, main media outlets such as newspapers and radio stations, the Norwegian Institute of Journalism as well as the Norwegian parliament in Oslo where they were introduced to the Norwegian Constitution, that is considered as the supreme legal document in Norway.<br />
