    Hvert år reiser hele skolen på en fellestur til Preikestolen. Her får elevene oppleve flott natur, aktivitet og fellesskap utenfor skoleområdet.

    Siden du som elev får minst 2 utenlandstur med linjene dine, har vi valgt å la skolens fellestur være en opplevelse i Norge.

    Gjennom skoleåret setter vi også av tid til ulike felles opplevelser og arrangementer, for eksempel:

    • konserter
    • kinoforestillinger
    • seminarer
    • foredrag

    Fellesturen og fellesarrangementene gir gode opplevelser på tvers av linjer og bidrar til å styrke fellesskapet på skolen.

    Mandatory: Yes

    Price: Included in course price

    Alle elevene ved Karmøy Folkehøgskole deltar på minst 2 utenlandsturer gjennom sine 2 linjer. Enkelte elever deltar på opptil 4 utlandsturer avhengig av hvilke linjer de har valgt. Derfor har vi lagt opp til en felles skoletur til Preikestolen og Stavanger. Skolen ønsker også at våre elever får delta på lokale kulturelle arrangement i skolens nærmiljø, dvs på Haugalandet. Dette er for eksempel spennende konserter, kinoforestillinger, teater og byvandring.

    Age limits

    You must turn 18 during the year of admission.

    The line price and content for the 2027/28 school year are currently being updated.
