The teaching program is mainly adapted for pupils in grades 5 to 7, but in many cases you as a teacher can adapt it to your pupils. Here you will find ready-made programs that are easily accessible - for free use!
We present information about the salmon's life cycle with the help of beautiful illustrations and articles. We have also themed the salmon in nature, showing habitats and how salmon live month by month.
Under Salmon and hum ans, you will find a lot of exciting history about how salmon and humans have lived together - and how they live together today. In addition, we look at the future of salmon in the light of climate change and human consumption.
We have created a toolbox for you as a teacher, where you will find quiz, assignments and activities. These are linked to learning objectives and subjects. You will find more from the toolbox below.

The Nasjonalt villakssenter was founded in 2019 by the Norwegian Environment Agency to raise awareness of wild salmon. Salmon have lived on Earth for millions of years, but human use of salmon and nature has meant that there are not many wild salmon left in our rivers. It has become an endangered species. If salmon are to be with us in the future, everyone must know and care about salmon.
Our mission is to spread knowledge and create engagement for salmon. It is our common heritage and our shared responsibility. Use our website to become a little wiser.
In addition, you can visit us at Lyngdal, Lærdal, Namsos and Tana. We are happy to come to your school, or you can bring your class to visit us.
Contact your nearest villa center for more information about what we can offer:
There are several different salmonids, and all of them are amazing in their own way. For example, have you heard of the Namsblanken? Or did you know that sea trout live in cold water? Or that sea trout do not migrate as far as wild salmon?
