Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Dugnad' is the ultimate cultural expression of taking an active part. It's a voluntary contribution to a collective task, like cleaning a neighborhood or painting a club house. Norwegian workplaces have low power distance. Employees are expected to take an active part in meetings and challenge their bosses' ideas constructively. The Norwegian school system emphasizes 'elevmedvirkning' (student participation). Students are taught from a young age to take an active part in shaping their own learning environment.
