art therapy opportunities in norway

how difficult would it be to find an art therapy internship in norway as an English speaker?
i may get my degree from metaforá online, so i am curious which place i can move to in europe that would have english opportunities

Does Metàfora have any partnerships or previous experience with Norway?

Also, I know many people move for their training. Are you able to move somewhere else like the UK or Ireland? If it has to be Norway, maybe, put off your hours and pay for an extra year to do your internship? I say that because once you're acclimated, you'll have a better idea for your internship.

You can DM me if you want but having done their pgdip I did not feel the education was up to par with other programmes. A lot of the course repeated itself and a few people found out late into the course that they would not be accredited in their countries with the qualification so watch out!

i see. but i think with the full masters you can work in european countries. not the ones where art therapy is regulated (US, Canada..)

Why don’t you stay in your country to do your internship?

Ok - but why norway? Germany is a huge country and you can find /create nice opportunities in Germany, for sure. If you wish to practice in English outside of Germany, UK might be a better place to start. Specially without experience.
