Your future

Send application

Join us for an exciting year where you can explore your own potential together with others. The travel destinations will provide memories for life! Together we will experience, explore and develop!

Everyday life on the course


During the year you will have the opportunity to strengthen your body, challenge your mind and your worldview. You will learn to make choices that can affect your lifestyle and make a difference for your fellow human beings.
Together we will discover, explore and develop ourselves as individuals and as citizens of the world. We will also become good "life hackers". All hackers need tools and knowledge. Through mindfulness techniques such as meditation, tapping, tai chi and yoga, you will gain tools that can make you better equipped to handle stress and challenges in life. We will also use the beautiful nature of Bergen for relaxation and physical exercise.

You will also increase your understanding of economics and how to use resources in a good, sustainable way. The goal is to become more independent. How can you use your resources to get what you want most? How can you stretch your money and be better equipped for student life? The class will focus on reuse, redesign, and how to make healthy, locally sourced food from scratch.

We are visited by Helene Danielsen, who runs the yoga center "Time for yoga" and entrepreneur and leader of the organization "World Saving Hustle" Martin Skadal, who will talk about how to start your own business.

You will also have the opportunity to plan and arrange fun events and happenings for both the school's students and the local community.

Sri Lanka

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: 10 - 12 dager

In the spring we will travel again! We are going to Sri Lanka together with the aid organisation FORUT. 

Sri Lanka is located in the Indian Ocean, east of India and is often called India's tear. The country's most breathtaking sights include high mountains, white beaches, herds of wild elephants, rolling hills, and rainforests.

The climate is tropical. We can expect 25-30 degrees while enjoying nature up close, historically climbing Sigriya Mountain, exploring the Temple of the Tooth, and experiencing the culture of the big cities of Colombo and Kandy.

FORE has worked in Sri Lanka for more than 40 years and knows the country and its people very well. We are so lucky that we are not only tourists, but get to visit several of FORUT's projects around the island.

This trip will be an experience of a lifetime, and many will surely have a desire to return to Sri Lanka after this.
