Pangaia
We are extremely proud of the unique concept of Pangaia - the home away from home and social hub for students at Volda University College. Pangaia is both a physical meeting place, a studen support office and an organiser of social events.
Pangaia opened on February 13th 2006 and was a success from the start. Pangaia, meaning "one world", is a social meeting point on the ground floor of the main building on the VUC campus, a place where you can drop in to relax, make new friends, get a cup of coffee and get help fom the student trainees working for the International Office.
Events and Social Activities
Pangaia also arranges many cultural events, movie nights, Christmas and Easter workshops, dance shows, hiking trips etc. Many of the events are held at the student house Rokken.
The International Office at Volda University College, in cooperation with Pangaia and students from the Student Parliament, will each semester arrange various activities for international and local students.
At the beginning of each semester there will be a welcome orientation for the international students. At Christmas we will make a Christmas party, with Norwegian food for all international students. It is a core principle of Pangaia is that all activities are free of charge.
