A rainy morning and a cool breeze flowing through the window gently woke us to begin our day. Naturally, our first stop was Espresso House for a signature latte and a focaccia sandwich before catching the tram to an informational session with Nurses on Wheels.
During our conversation with the Nurses on Wheels staff, we learned about their preventative approach to public health, which includes providing clean supplies to individuals suffering from drug addiction. This mobile organization travels throughout Oslo, Norway, offering aid to vulnerable populations in need. Their work directly supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
After the session, we took a scenic ferry ride to the island of Hovedøya. There, we explored the island’s stunning natural landscapes and enjoyed a snack at a charming café. The visit gave us a chance to connect with SDG 15: Life on Land, and SDG 14: Life Below Water, as we appreciated the importance of preserving both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
To end our day, we visited the Munch Museum, where we had the chance to view a wide array of beautiful artwork, including Edvard Munch’s iconic painting The Scream. The museum, an impressive 13-story building, offered breathtaking views, and I concluded the day on the top floor, watching the sunset with friends.
