Asia Unlocked takes you up close to the culture, language and food of China and Japan, right here in Ørsta, combined with a shared school trip somewhere warm, new experiences and friendships for life.

We unlock Asia, learn languages and experience culture from the inside! Asia Unlocked autumn gives you a unique encounter with China and Japan, two of the world’s most exciting countries, right here in Ørsta. The main focus is on China, with Chinese language, culture and history. You’ll also learn Japanese and get to know Japan.

Throughout the autumn you’ll learn about history, philosophy and society, and how tradition and modern life are woven together in everyday life. You’ll taste your way through dumplings, ramen and sushi, try your hand at calligraphy and cook Asian food from scratch. Every now and then, we head out on mountain hikes in the Sunnmøre Alps.

In October–November you’ll join the school’s shared study trip to a warmer country: one week together with students from all the courses. The destination will be decided during the winter.

Dreaming of experiencing China and Japan for real? Choose the full year and join four weeks in China and Japan in February–March.

Asia Unlocked is for you if you want to learn, explore and meet the world with all your senses open. You’ll gain new knowledge, powerful impressions and memories for life.

At Møre folkehøgskule, travel is part of the school year, and the study trips are included in the course price.

Shared school trip: Every October–November, the whole school travels together to a warmer country for one week. Students from all courses get to know each other across classes, and the trip is an important part of building one community. All full-year and autumn students join this trip.

Course study trip: In February–March, each course goes on its own long study trip of 3–4 weeks to Asia, to Bali, Thailand, Japan or China. This trip is for full-year and spring students.

We travel with purpose. Students help plan the trips, and we learn about the places we visit, meet local people and reflect on how tourism affects local communities and the environment.

Sol, samhold og saltvann – ei uke du aldri glemmer

Når høsten senker seg over Sunnmørsalpane, gjør vi det eneste riktige: vi reiser sørover! Hele Møre folkehøgskule tar turen til varmen – kanskje til Italia, kanskje til en av Kanariøyene – for ei uke med sol, fellesskap og ny energi. I 2026 går turen til Fuerteventura. Reisemål for 2027 blir bestemt rett etter nyttår!

Se for deg å starte dagen barbeint i sanden, med lyden av bølger i bakgrunnen. Noen hiver seg på surfekurs, andre chiller på stranda eller blir med på tur til lokale markeder og små fjellandsbyer. Om kvelden samles vi til god mat, latter og historier – og du blir kjent med folk fra andre linjer på en helt ny måte.

Dette er uka der skuldrene senkes, sola tar tak i smilet ditt, og du får puste litt ekstra før vinteren. Du drar hjem med varme i kroppen, nye venner og minner som varer lenge etter at brunfargen har forsvunnet.

Felles "bli kjent tur" på høsten– sol, samhold og smil.
– Fordi folkehøgskolelivet handler om å oppleve litt mer.
