Action+Plan+Leirskule


 * ACTION NAME: Leirskule**

1. Preparing strategies for increasing the number of customers for when the Miklagard project is complete. 2. Increasing the awareness of the UWC movement with the visiting school children and as such increasing the colleges outreach nationally. 3. Continue working on increasing staff qualifications in leirskule related activities.
 * DESCRIPTION**

1. Write down strategies for expanding, market research and marketing so that they are ready for when Miklagard is ready. 2. Make a plan for how Leirskule staff should involve this in the teaching to a greater extent and even more important how the students through their contact with the visitors, should reach out with the UWC philosophy. All visitors should know what RCNUWC and the UWC movement is and what it is about. 3. This should be achieved through both internal training and in the staff recruitment process where there should be more emphasis on outdoor/camp school qualifications.
 * MEASURABLE GOALS**

Before summer 2013
 * TIMEFRAME AND MILESTONES**

Joakim Janninge/Ragnhild Tveiten in consultation with Director of Development
 * RESPONSIBLE PERSONS**

1. Most costs in extra work load maybe extra work time? Costs for preparing marketing documents could be outsourced but probably at a greater costs. Must be included in Miklagard funding requests. 2. Little or no cost but needs time. 3. Professional development budget. More internal training probably needs more time for those who participate.
 * COSTS**

1. Strengthening the Leirskule and maintaining high standards. Preparation for the proposed expansion of the Miklagard project. 2. Extending the college's outreach regionally and nationally. A significant number of children ( 500 to 600) who have grown up in the region between Bergen and Ålesund visit us each year. They have a memorable stay here in Flekke and should leave with a good understanding of UWC. 3. Maintaining a safe and popular high quality Leirskule.
