ESC: Volunteering at Halvorsminde Efterskole

Halvorsminde is a self-governing institution. We operate on grants from the Danish government and on fees from the students. Halvorsminde is a Danish Efterskole and operates under the laws of such. Halvorsminde Efterskole og Fri Fagskole (hereafter Halvorsminde) offers a Danish way of teaching for 14-18 year-olds. Typical of this way of teaching is that the students live at school. Halvorsminde Efterskole og Halvor Fri Fagskole is a Grundtvigian way of teaching which means that the everyday life at school is based on openness, equality, closeness and community. The everyday life at school focuses on both regular teaching, the teaching of crafts and creative skills, sports and movement classes. The school consists of 130 students and 30 employees, such as teachers, visiting lecturers, trainees and volunteers, all contributing to creating a unique Halvorsminde.
