Culture Subjects

World class

It is the encounter with young people from other parts of the world that shapes our own national and personal identity - regardless of whether it is young people from the Nordic countries, Europe, USA, Nepal, India or Ghana. So if you are looking for an efterskole with a lot of travels, please take a look further below on this page.

Cultural studies is about using your interests and skills to open up new cultures and friendships. Students don't need to have a special interest in nature sports or imagination. It is the encounter between people and culture that takes centre stage.

4 periods & 4 journeys

Our efterskoleår is divided into 4 periods with 4 journeys.

Each period ends with a journey of 4 to 14 days; in total we travel up to 28 days.

Profile subjects

August to October

The first profile subject is chosen before the student starts the school year. In the profile subject, the student experiences setting both common and personal goals, e.g. the sailors learn to navigate and sail a boat in the Mediterranean. The music team prepares concerts and travels to a big city. The divers go diving in Egypt and get a PADI licence.

Themed journey

October to December

The theme trips Winter Life with Skiing in the Nordic countries or Culture in a big city provide an opportunity to gather students across all houses and subjects around common teaching and educational goals. This strengthens the students' unity and provides a common reference point during their stay. This is why we will be travelling to Prague and Nordic skiing together in the coming years. The joint trip is included in the school fees, as the budget is the same for everyone.

Culture profile subject

January to March

The culture and profile subject journeys are selected in September/October by a
democratic process where both students and staff can make suggestions for
Cultural subjects. The cultural subjects can be based on a profile subject, e.g. Nepal High
Trek, but the starting point is themes such as nature, sports, religion, politics,
gastronomy, history, etc. The programme ends with a cultural trip, usually
involves meetings with local organisations, school visits and meetings with
local youth. During the cultural journey, students will immerse themselves in one of the 17 UN
SDGs and communicate the experience in a project. The cultural subjects and travelling are
The best classroom in the world!

Profile subjectsexpedition

April to June

The profile subject expeditions in the 4th period are also proposed and chosen by the students and staff in a democratic election. The goal is to have the opportunity to try out new profile subjects within the Imagination and Nature Sports profile, to push personal boundaries and become more courageous. The last profile subject period ends with a 3-4 day expedition in Denmark or the Nordic countries.
