ESC: Volunteering at Højskolen Snoghøj

The danish Folk High School, Performing Arts College Snoghøj, is a stepping stone for young aspiring artists who are looking for a future working as a professional in the fields of performing arts. Or maybe they figure out that they want to do something completely different. At Snoghøj, we try to combine the best of two worlds. Serious performing arts college with a classic danish folk high school. We are striving to be a serious offer for young adults that wish to become a professional artist or even just have performing arts as a hobby. We are helping all our students all the way, and they will have the opportunity to get qualified help for applying for danish and European performing arts schools. No matter why a student chooses Snoghøj, we first and foremost want to be a folk high school, where we want to care for each other and ourselves in a loving, warm and caring community. All of our teachers are educated in performing arts and have been practitioners for years on the national and international stages. This, combined with years of experience teaching gives the best requisites to do the best quality teaching and to give you the best personal growth. This can happen, since the teachers are here at all hours of the day – some even live in the school, just like you – and this gives an optimal setting for growing as a person, when you spar with the staff. We are also here for the weekend and your free time in general, this means that you don’t have to take the talks you need in a rush – we are also here, for roasting marshmallows while looking at the setting sun going down over Little Belt National Park. Our students are from all over the world, usually between the age of 18 and 25 and we can take about 80 per semester. Of this little less than half comes from other countries than Denmark.
