The purpose of this website is to inform viewers about the status of children in Norway. This site was created by Tessa Arbani, Andrew Dafoe, Molly Fleece, and Ali Ryan as part of a collaborative web project for the first year writing seminar Children & Society at Tulane University taught by Professor April Brayfield.
This is not a professional website. This site was compiled in less than a month as a final project for our course. The information in this website is a combination of the profesional research we have cited and our own ideas.
We would like to thank our consultant, Dr. An-Magritt Jensen, whose correspondance allowed us to gain a greater understanding of children in Norway and Professor Brayfield for her help and patience in the creation of this site.
