Dreaming of experiencing the home of samba football — Brazil?

Don’t just dream it — live it! Join us in the warmth of Brazil and on the world-famous Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for unforgettable days of beach volleyball and football with the locals.

In Rio, we’ll spend time on the iconic beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon — playing beach volleyball, futebol, and futevolley. We’ll visit a favela and get to know local youth through games, food, and shared experiences. The ball brings us together across language and culture.

You’ll visit the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, watch a football match at the legendary Maracanã Stadium, and have time to rent a SUP board or surfboard, swim, or just relax on beautiful Ipanema Beach. And for a taste of culture — how about exploring the lively, dance-filled Lapa district? Rio offers endless possibilities.

PS! Love to travel?
At Hurdal Verk, you choose two different lines — which means at least two amazing travel destinations during the year!

This is how it works at our school:

  • At Verk Folk High School, international students are not placed in separate classes. Instead, they are fully integrated into regular classes alongside Norwegian students who speak both Norwegian and English.

Our experience shows that this creates real friendships and helps students learn the language faster and more naturally.

  • That is why "Norwegian for Foreigners" is not a separate study line, but an additional course for those who want to learn Norwegian.
  • This means you can freely choose from our wide range of main courses, without limitations.

What makes Hurdal Verk even more unique is that all students take two main courses, not just one. This allows you to combine different interests, enjoy greater variety in your school year, and meet even more people — giving you a richer social and learning experience.

  • When you apply, you select your Line 1 and Line 2, and simply add Norwegian for Foreigners if you want Norwegian language training.
