Knowledge for a renewable future

Arven will convey Norway’s power history in the past, present, and future. We will do this by promoting learning through play and interactive installations – outdoors, where natural resources are. Our ambition is to create memorable experiences for children and young people, where they can unleash both energy and imagination. This can show how energy, industry and society are interconnected, and how we can all play a role in solving future power needs.

Arven will be a center of knowledge for the entire country of Norway. This means that we will collaborate with the most skilled and forward-thinking actors in energy, industry, research, and communication. In this way, we will convey stories in a way that engages, arouses curiosity, and creates a desire to get involved.

Arven can be compared to an outdoor science center. We will collaborate with the school system and cooperate closely with the Science Center of Nordland. The center is based on digital communication that can be shared by collaborators from all over the country – be it through VR glasses, tablet games, or practical tasks that can be used in teaching.

Arven will also be a meeting place where different industries can share knowledge and learn from each other, in order to meet future energy challenges. And more importantly: a place where the business community gets to meet children and young people, the next generation of leaders, and listen to what kind of society they want to develop.

Arven will become a world-class tourist attraction and a natural stopping point for those traveling through Norway. Located in the middle of the country, where north meets south, where fjord meets mountain, where nature meets industry. With immediate proximity to both train, airport, the E6 highway, and Hurtigruten coastal express. Here, we will make lasting impressions, by teaching and entertaining both children and adults – from all over the world.
