A large and varied group of over 70 people met to the motivation method training-conference at Møglestu in October. The projectleader and other central representatives in HBS in Agder were there, teachers from different school levels, and many others interested in the work at Møglestu and the adult learning centre in Birkenes came to learn about our method. Also in the health field, there is interest for the method, and both a psychologist and a doctor in the local community took time to come to the training conference.
The audience was really enganged, and many teachers asked good questions during the conference. The teachers from the schools in Birkenes were challenge to join us and try out the method at different levels in school. The main message to the lecturers was that students need to take responsibility for their own lives, their own learning, and in particular, their own motivation, a message that was well received by the audience. We have experience ourselves from working with this method, and we think it can help many people.
