Asia Unlocked takes you up close to the culture, language and food of China and Japan, combined with travel, experiences and friendships for life.

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

Throughout the year 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, always connected to the culture you’ll meet on the trip. Every now and then, we head out on mountain hikes in the Sunnmøre Alps.

The highlight is the study trip in February–March: four weeks in China and Japan. You can walk on the Great Wall, see pandas, visit the Forbidden City in Beijing and climb a beautiful mountain in southern China. In Japan, you’ll experience Tokyo, Kyoto and the areas around them. We visit temples, ride bullet trains, taste local food and meet people who will give you a whole new perspective on the world.

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

Of course, at a school in the centre of Ørsta, surrounded by the proud Sunnmøre Alps, we’ll also get out and experience the stunning landscape. We’ll go hiking, and the plan is for the class to spend a night together in a cabin nearby.
