Elvebakken Upper Secondary School came on third place in the Holberg Prize School Project 2013.

The third place in 2013 went to the school project “Victoria Terrasse”. The project critically examines the building, Victoria Terasse, and how people develop associations, thoughts and affects in their relation to this specific place. The building has a captivating history, especially with regards to the Second World War. In 1940, the building was occupied by the German secret service, Gestapo. The research project is written by Andrea Bakken, Ada Lunde, Tyra Nyeborg and Katrine Stake from Elvebakken Upper Secondary School in Oslo.
