The school is a so-called liberal folk high school, which means we do not base our values on a particular faith or belief, but on equality and respect for the individual’s integrity. Until our brand new campus is built, we hire a huge houseboat / floating hotel as our base. The floating hotel will contain everything you need; classroom, cafeteria, kitchen, doubleroom (you share room with a roommate), office for the employees and living rooms.

Our courses from August 2023 are listet below:

Coastal outdoorlife (FriHAVsliv): Do you want to spend a major part of the year in a kayak? Are you dreaming of freediving for scallops? Or maybe catch the biggest fish in the Norwegian sea? Then you have come to the right place!
H2Ø - seascapes, crafting, island life (H2Ø - hav, håndverk og øyliv): Join in on a magical journey through the natural and cultural world of islands. With H₂Ø you experience fantastic sea landscapes on foot or by sea kayak.
Fisheries and Aquaculture (fiske og havbruk): Are you interested in boating, fishing and modern aquaculture? At Fiske & Havbruk you gain practical insights and experience today's coastal life in the middle of the Norwegian ocean!
The Event Course (eventlinja): The crowd comes alive in front of the stage. The atmosphere is sky-high! But what is going on back-stage? What does it take arrange and plan all the concerts, festivals, and events we know and love?

All teaching is in Norwegian. For those of you who do not speak english, we give you the opportunity to learn Norwegian throughout the year.
