ESC: SOLIDARITY CULTURE AND EDUCATION
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Sund Folk College aims at being a “school for life - oriented to the world”! Sund is founded on being a political and religious independent non-profit school.
Sund Folk College is dedicated to community involvement. Especially three areas are important to us; international solidarity, sustainable development and the value of art and culture. These three areas dominate both the education and the daily life at the school.
All the three areas go on long study trips. These trips will together with the rest of the program, give the students a new understanding of the world we live in.
The courses provided at Sund Folk College are;
• Global Sports

Academic program includes both one-year and ½-year studies, supplied with numerous short-courses. Students live on campus housing a total of 115 including approx. 10 international students each year. Students hold a minimum age of 18 and an average of 20 years.
Staff holds approx. 20 persons, including teachers, technical and administrative staff.
💼 What the programme involves
In Norway we have folk high schools, which are based on non-formal learning, and at the same time is acknowledged as an important part of young people’s education before they enter university or the job market. A folk high school is a place for young people to be curious, creative and to discover their interests within different topics such as art, culture, sports, entrepreneurship, society, politics, solidarity, environment and sustainability. While at the same time increase their understanding of the self, others and the world around them. Sund folkehøgskole (Sund fhs) offers volunteers a unique opportunity to learn and discover more about these topics and acquire competencies in democratic culture, citizenship, solidarity and creativity, and learn about non-formal learning and how to implement this in practice.
