The third place in the Holberg Prize School Project 2012 goes to Oslo Commerce School.

Vilde Bauer Andreassen, Francis Taylor, Magnus Hagem and Magnus Sollie Gjerdalen from Oslo Commerce School receive the prize based on their research project “Sibling relationship and Down’s Syndrome”. The project’s theme is about sibling relationships in a family where one of the children have Downs Syndrome. Their main goal was to illuminate a matter that few of the students knew about, but still found interesting.
