The longest trip will give you travel memories and experiences you won't soon forget.

South-East Asia entices with nature, people, culture quite different from what we are used to. In advance of the trip, we will prepare enough so that we are familiar with the cultures and geography we will encounter. On this trip, we will focus on aid. We visit a small poor village in Laos, where we help build a school, live and eat with the locals and, not least, play with the local children.

One of our goals with the trip is to visit places where we come into close contact with the culture and the people. We visit well-known places in both Thailand and Laos, but we seek even more to reach out to areas that are lesser known, and which will give us experiences that we would not otherwise have the opportunity to have. Laos is a country that, until very recently, has been very closed and unknown to the Western world. This will be one of the major highlights of the Ticket to Ride course.

During and after the trip, we work with film and photography to document the experiences we have had and experiences made.

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.
