@Ishahak What protection are you referring to? And is the "Geneva Convention Book" a Refugee Travel Document (as per the 1951 Geneva Convention)?

Do you have any document which will state that you are a permanent resident of Norway?

With a 1951 Convention refugee travel document issued by Norway, you can:
- Use the travel document to travel to other countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a visa.
- Use the travel document instead of a passport to apply for visas, and travel to, any countries outside the Schengen area except for one.
You cannot:
- Return to the country from which you fled. Your refugee status may be revoked if you travel to this country.
In summary: You may travel to any country in the world except the country you came from, but most countries will require a visa.

@EdmundDantes: Norway and Poland are both parties to the European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees, which on a reciprocal basis gives visa-freedom for short visits. The Polish page apparently singles out Ireland and Romania, because they are the only parties to this agreement that are not also in the Schengen area.

I don't think you can go to all Schengen countries without a visa. Not all Schengen countries are signatories of the European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees, for example France is not.
